PLAYING CATCH UP WITH THE FACTS OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVASION

"If you listened to NPR over the past week, you would have thought the influx comprised only children — youngsters as young as six who make the dangerous journey in a heart-wrenching search for parents already in the United States. While NPR wasn't the only news organization to frame the story this way, it was perhaps the most prominent in the distortion, especially in the descriptions provided by its anchors in Washington as they introduced stories and interviewed reporters in the field.


That oversimplification unwittingly serves the purposes of the White House, which has been pumping out the same misleading line. Officials there drew the ire of frustrated reporters earlier this week when they insisted that they not be identified as they continued to misrepresent the crisis as entirely about children. Masters of manipulation, they hid behind a wall."- CIS

ANOTHER BIAS HIT JOB ON THE TRUTH BY NPR'S MORNING EDITION PROGRAM

 "On NPR's Morning Edition this week, reporter Ted Robbins had the makings of a good story about a congressional mandate that requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hit an expensive target for detention of illegal immigrants.

But the story careened immediately into editorial Never-Never Land with host Steve Inskeep's sophomoric introduction. Then Robbins drove it into the reportorial briar patch with his own editorial slant on a story that should have let the facts speak for themselves."

DEBATE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? WHAT DEBATE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?

Once again the deep liberal bias of those working at NPR  shows up in the reporting of NPR. :

"NPR's David Welna stacked his Thursday report on Morning Edition full of liberal politicians and activists who support granting citizenship to illegal immigrants. Welna aired sound bites from a representative of the left-wing SEIU, three Democratic politicians, and a woman who has illegal immigrant family members. He only included one clip from a Republican – Senator John McCain, who has long been a supporter of "comprehensive" immigration reform.

The correspondent also spent much of the segment spotlighting a recent Capitol Hill demonstration in favor of a so-called path to citizenship, where many of his liberal talking heads spoke."

The bias exhibited by NPR in reporting on stories like illegal immigration are why I no longer give money to my local NPR station.
