Newsday: The paper that can't report straight!

Two more deaths by illegal immigration occured here on Long Island recently. Though, you would not know it by the reporting of Newsday the major Long Island daily newspaper. The story reported by Christine Aramario, Wil Cruz and Stacey Altherr all Newsday Staff Writers does not tell you that the person who killed the two people in a DWI accident was here illegally. You need to read between the lines:

"The crash came just two months after Torres-Paredes was stopped by a sheriff's deputy for driving without a license, speeding and following another vehicle too closely. During the Sept. 23 arrest, he also was charged with forgery and criminal impersonation, likely for driving with a fake license, officials said."

Gee, I wonder which group of people often have fake identification in the U.S.?

Then as if that was not enough to raise questions concerning the legal status of the driver by the Newsday reporters and their editors the following info should have:

"In 1996, Torres-Paredes was arrested and later convicted on assault charges. He was subsequently ordered to be deported the following year. There is no record, however, of his re-entry into the United States, prosecutors said."

Translation: He was here illegally!

When it comes to reporting on illegal immigration Newsday colors it's reporting and either ignores the crimes committed by illegal immigrants or hides the facts. The bias and contempt for the facts shown by Newsday's reporting when illegal immigrants are involved in crimes is one of the reasons why people no longer trust mainstream media outlets like Newsday to give them the news.
