Burgess Everett of Politico vs reporting
Will Burgess Everett of Politico correct an article containing a Big Lie? The main author of "2 senators seek fewer deportations" ( ) is Seung Min Kim, but experience has shown she has little interest in trying real journalism (see http://24ahead.com/c/94 ). Everett is listed as contributing, so I'll try him too.
The article says: "The rising number of deportations under President Barack Obama is a sore spot between the White House and immigration advocates... The administration is poised to mark 2 million deportations under Obama sometime this spring."
The statistics are deceptive, as both Obama and the DHS have admitted. See http://24ahead.com/n/12023 for the details. Will Burgess Everett try real journalism where Seung Min Kim failed and correct the misleading article?

11 years ago.@burgessev: your name is on "2 senators seek fewer deportations" (Politico) which misleads about deportation stats. When will you correct?
11 years ago.@burgessev: you ignored all requests to correct your lie: http://24ahead.com/c/168 Now, I'd like to ask about "Cruz to visit the border".
11 years ago.@burgessev: in that, you call a David Vitter plan to speed up deportations of border kids "hardline".
11 years ago.@burgessev: which would reduce number of kids dying in the desert: the "hardline" Vitter plan or plans that would keep border kids here?
