Soledad O'Brien "Latinos in America" not biased enough for NILP (+ she lies) - 11/09/09
... media to talk about the terrible Hate Crimes committed against our people, a 40% increase in one year, to not seize an opportunity to tell that story...
1. "The most vulnerable among us" certainly have some powerful defenders, don't they? See the link in the text.

Judy Bachrach/Vanity Fair smears Lou Dobbs - 08/08/08
... quotes Barack Obama lying about hate crimes doubling, simply to include his comments about Dobbs and Limbaugh. She doesn't do any real reporting in this case and point out that Obama lied. And, later in the article she quotes some hate crime statistics, so obviously she knows where to find them. Even the Washington Post's "Fact Checker" has called BHO on his lie (link), but apparently she's...
