WSB news managers,
After 16 years in the Atlanta area my family recently returned to Texas where I grew up in a border town. We still monitor Georgia politics, especially immigration issues. Our friend and founder of the Dustin Inman Society, DA King, has been committed for many years in helping people understand the truth about immigration and the law.
He correctly points out that Georgia has more illegal immigrants than Arizona; and, amazingly, more illegals than green card holders. I assure you, this fact is not helping middle-class or low-income Americans in Georgia of any description.
As a proud Latina donor and board member of The Dustin Inman Society, I was stunned that you passed along the preposterous “hate map” listing from the defamatory and dishonest SPLC. None of us at the Dustin Inman Society attack immigrants – or Hispanics. Using the SPLC as a reliable arbiter of ‘extremism’ and “hate” is repugnant and reckless, especially for a large, TV newsroom. I see your standards have declined since we lived in the Atlanta area.
Surely you are aware of the criticism by the Anti Defamation League [2] of the SPLC for its faking a “hate group” crisis and reprimand by the DOJ for “unprofessional and frivolous behavior in immigration court proceedings”? [3]
Tactics and accusations by the SPLC are very questionable, a fact WSB TV News omits from their reporting.
My assumption is that WSB is more dedicated to fairness and telling the truth in journalism than the SPLC. Am I wrong?
