Intentional misrepresentation of the facts has certainly become S.O.P. BTW,my point was not tried,it was made. [to paraphrase Yoda] The point was not to support Lou Dobbs,or to deny the factual nature of your article, but rather to point out that he is certainly no more guilty than the general media. In fact, to now make a point in his defense,he appears to value the truth slightly more than average. I do applaud your efforts to alert us to [??journalistic??]dishonesty, what ever the source. Thank you! ssteve;

-The issue of "amnesty" is a debate over semantics, not about matters of fact.

-Any serious person will admit that we don't have a hard and fast figure on the number of illegal immigrants in the country.

However, neither of those thing gets to the issue of Dobbs and the way he runs his show and it certainly has nothing to do with his bogus claims about leprosy which can be firmly established, as I noted here.

No amnesty is being offered! Talk about lying bogus numbers; how about "there's only 12,000,000 criminal immigrants in the U.S." or... No amnesty is being offered!
