I understand you were demonstrating UT's position, and I don't disagree with it. Apparently every talking head feels they must justify why they are reporting every story. But my point is, if the news sources told me what happened, instead of 1 minute of what happened and 5 minutes of how they think it must affect me, I wouldn't suffer that bias. I'll develop my own outrage, thank you.

The video makes some great points. One being, Mexican and illegal alien are not interchangeable terms, as the bias news sources have been telling everyone to rally support for bias causes.
