As a reporter, you are required to do battle to make sure you do not fall into this trap. I remember the pressures I faced to drop terms such as Illegal Alien from every radio script that I produced. I refused. The News Director wanted me fired. Fortunately, that action had to be approved by the owner of the radio station where I worked. When he found out the reasoning behind the request to have me fired, he instead fired the News Director. You win some, and you lose some.
Well thought out.
Tom Sowell had a great book called the Conflict of Visions about this very topic
This is relevant and excellent
Thank you Jon for getting this out
It really needs to be disseminated
