    I attended a naturalization ceremony today for 12 new American citizens. I watched them swear allegiance to the USA, in English, and I watched them all receive their naturalization certificates. (My wife's friend was one of them.)

    I'm proud of them. That's what immigrants are. They're people who get a visa, they come to the USA, they learn English, they learn about our way of life, and they become citizens. I wish the media was there, but they were not. It's the media who needs to learn the difference between immigrants and criminals.

    But the Media doesn't want to learn. They are paid only to be the mouthpieces of the Elitists.

    That's why legacy media is dying off.

    Part of me wants to call and discuss it on the local radio show "Binghamton Now with Bob Joseph" but I think Bob will just hang up on me again :)

    There are a multitude of reasons as to why that is happening, but you
    are correct that is one of them.
