Nashville Tennessean supports illegal alien journalist

Given the news media's dismal record on fair and impartial coverage of the immigration issue, it is only fitting that one of its members come to the aid of a journalist ordered deported 11 years ago, "Free Memphis-based journalist Manuel Duran," "Another View/Nashville Tennessean," April 13.

Duran, who displays the same contempt for our laws and sovereignty as do most of the nation's journalists, was ordered out of the country because like many illegal aliens he chose to become a fugitive by ignoring a scheduled court date.

The editorial hypocritically concludes that Duran should be allowed to remain here and continue his "fearless reporting" and "holding government accountable."  Had the nation's media done their jobs in holding our federal government accountable, today's immigration crisis would not exist.
