Will NPR win a BCP Orwellian Journalism award?

For the second week in a row a story on illegal immigration on National Public Radio's afternoon news program ALL THINGS CONSIDERED showed the bias of this news organization and it's reporter Jennifer Ludden. Instead of using terms like "illegal immigrant" to describe people who have broken U.S. Immigration law. The NPR reports tend to use terms like workers with "no status", "undocumented workers", " undocumented foreigners" making it sound that they left their wallets at home instead of violated U.S. law. With the biased Orwellian NPR newspeak on an issue like illegal immigration. I expect to hear NPR reporters describe a burgler as a "uninvited house guest"
