Eh tu New York Times

Speaking of liberal mainstream corporate media. This New York Times in a piece by Nina Bernstein plays the sympathy angle about recent immigration raids in Greenport Long Island that were aimed at gang members but, also picked up illegal immigrants in the sweep.

To which I say: And the problem is?

You don't have to look to far to see the bias of "The paper of record". The headline reads "Immigrant Workers Caught in Net Cast for Gangs " A little fact the Times editors seemed to have forgotten is that illegal immigrants are not supposed to be working in this country in the first place. But, the Times does not seem to let facts get in the way. Just like the law does not seem to stop the wealthy folks out in the east end of Long Island from hiring the illegals (or paying $10,000 for their bail). There is a priceless photo in the piece of Charlotte Gemmel and Maureen Sanders the "retirees" petting their dog and in the forground their illegal immigrant gardener they provided bail for. It is a photo over looking their gardens and water view property.
