Even the Local Media Gets it Wrong

On Thursday, August 11, 2005, in Carlsbad, California, there was an open community forum on the issue of illegal-immigration and its effects on society. Along with the anti-immigration attendees, there was also a a gathering of immigration advocates attending in opposition. The event came off very peaceful, but with the expected trading of barbs between both factions.

The kicker is that every story I have found on it slants it a different way. I submit for your consideration an article from a local San Diego newspaper, "Illegal Immigration forum draws hundreds" http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/08/12/news/top_stories/20_54_468_11_05.txt and a story posted on a local San Diego radio stations website, "SOME OBSERVATIONS" http://www.rogerhedgecock.com/flashfacts.html.

Both give the slant, but I tend to believe the radio station, because this stuff was broadcast in its entirety over the airwaves. Decide for yourself.
