Diane Sawyer/Good Morning America in Mexico on Columbus Day

On Monday, October 8 (Columbus Day), Diane Sawyer from Good Morning America (newsbusters.org/node/14050) will be "reporting" from Mexico on immigration. Why, the segment practically writes itself. While I don't watch the show and won't be tuning in, I expect it will basically be a "nation of immigrants" propaganda piece and she won't be featuring anything remotely approaching real reporting, such as Mexico's role in encouraging emigration in order to profit from the money that illegal aliens in the U.S. send home.

UPDATE: Here's the transcript of a biased report from Claire Shipman that ran on today's GMA:

10/8/07 UPDATE: Things went largely as expected, while it wasn't a complete puff piece (she asked Felipe Calderon about remittances) it was basically propaganda designed to support those who, in one way or another, are profiting from illegal immigration. Transcript here:

Comments

If it is anything at all like her "reporting" from North Korea, it is likely to be an embarassment.

Columbus is nothing it was John Cabot voyage who found the new lands of north America he was sent by King Henry in 1497/98 John Cabot was Italian born English explorer and he unlike old Columbus was well rewarded by old King Henry.
