THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAIL ON THE COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM DEBATE




Mickey Kaus points out the major media failings on the Comprehensive Immigration Reform debate:

"10 to 0–The MSM’s idea of a debate: Thanks to Politico for the list of all the guests on the five major networks’ Sunday talk shows (on all of which immigration was a hot topic of the day). I count thirteen politicians or administration figures. Of these guests, ten vigorously support some form of immigration amnesty (Schumer (two shows) Graham, McCain, Dan Pfeiffer (2 shows), Bill Richardson, John Huntsman, Luis Gutierrez and Mario Diaz-Balart.) But that’s OK, because the networks booked politicians who oppose amnesty to debate them! … Oh wait, there were no politicians opposing amnesty debating them. Zero. None. FOX included." - Mickey Kaus

It's pretty clear anyone getting their information from the old media outlets these days on important issues like "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" is only getting half the debate.
