Something else interesting about this, is that Broddrick's hotel roommate at the time, Norma Kelsey, had a father who had been murdered. 2 years later, Clinton commuted his killer's sentence. Coincedence? Years later, when Kelsey spoke out in support of Broddrick, her potential ulterior motive was used by many to cast doubt on the claims. | ||

In almost all cases no real line needs drawing because it almost all falls under free expression/speech or shit we already have laws for. Hey, it's a good thing you're so good at self-reflection. | ||

And Trump is objectively doing all the things that the editor is criticizing him for, so what you're advocating is a neutrality bias. | ||

(referring to the (and disappointingly) part) This is a misconception. Journalists are supposed to provide you with the perspective they feel the public should know about. They try to be balanced, but that isn't always possible. Journalists assume the reader will look for more than one perspective. And editorials are pure opinions and can be biased as fuck. | ||

A journalist shall always draw a clear and unmistakable distinction between the facts which he/she tells and what may be opinions, interpretations or surmises, although, in his/her professional activities he/she is not obliged to be neutral. | ||

Waves of immigrants coming into the U.S. in recent decades have helped the economy over the long haul and had little lasting impact on the wages or employment levels of native-born Americans, according to one of the most comprehensive studies yet on the topic. ... “Immigration enlarges the economy while leaving the native population slightly better off on average, but the greatest beneficiaries of immigration are the immigrants themselves as they avail themselves of opportunities not available to them in their home countries,” the report said. Immigration also can lead to more innovation, entrepreneurship and technological change across the economy, the report found. About 53% of immigrants had at least some college, including 16% with a graduate education, as of 2012. While often left out of the debate on immigration, such workers can help lift overall living standards. “The prospects for long run economic growth in the United States would be considerably dimmed without the contributions of high-skilled immigrants,” the report said. The study also found that “over a long time horizon (75 years in our estimates),” the fiscal impacts of immigrants “are generally positive at the federal level and negative at the state and local levels.” Source | ||

The study doesn't differentiate between illegal and legal immigration. Total waste of time. | ||

Trump's divorce records with Ivana are pretty disturbing too, including quotes from Trump Jr. Guess he might be as filthy as Bill Clinton. | ||
