Last week here in Minnesota we had the tragic news out of Cottonwood that 4 students were killed when a mini-van ran a stop sign and hit the school bus they were riding in. The only information that was immediately available was that the driver of the mini-van didn't have a valid driver license. Instantly I knew what that meant, illegal immigrant.
I heard on the radio last Friday that it was confirmed the driver was an illegal from Guatamala. I've been scouring the internet for the better part of two days now and only today was I able to find any news outlets actually reporting the case.
The mainstream media coverage of this entire incident is deplorable. In this AP News story, they wait until the very last line of the article to even make mention that the driver is "believed to be illegal". I then decided to go see what CNN had on their website. There was one article published, but it did not mention the name of the driver once. Not only that, there was not even a single reference to the fact that she didn't have a driver's license. I could have lived with that even if they didn't mention she was an illegal.
