Yesterday a Federal judge sided with the Obama administration against Arizona's immigration enforcement law. The ruling will be seen by Arizonans and the vast majority of Americans who support the law as just another example of this administration's failure to deal with illegal immigration and border security. Like the administration, the national media has shown a clear bias against the Arizona law. Network evening news coverage has been slanted against the Arizona law by a margin of 10-1, according to an analysis by the Media Research Center. Only one in six stories mentioned public opinion polls showing that Americans support the law. The national media should give Americans the facts about Arizona's immigration enforcement law, not provide cover for the administration's failure to secure the border.
