On Thursday of last week, our organization Americans for LEGAL immigration accused the NC AP wire service of censoring critical information about the criminal conduct of illegal aliens in NC and this fact has been proven in the days following our release.
North Carolina Associated Press wire service representative, David Scott (919-833-8687), has denied the charge when contacted by both ALIPAC and journalists from across America. He has stated that the NC AP Wire did cover the Hernandez case twice as a defense.
We never claimed that the NC AP Wire did not cover the Gilberto Cruz Hernandez case at all. We pointed out accurately that they never covered the Amy Milligan tragedy, the Robert Yates Dewy tragedy, or the gang rape of a 37 year old Huntersville woman. In the case of Hernandez, we accused them of not telling the state about his fresh and valid NC license which contradicts many stories they have circulated concerning Democratic lawmakers and administrators claiming our licenses are now secure.
The bias of the NC Associated Press Wire has now been proven, after the story broke last Sunday, that Gilberto Cruz Hernandez had a 44k job and a 123k mortgage backed by US taxpayers through the FHA. This censorship is further illustrated by their refusal to report that the issue has now reached Congress through actions of Congresswoman Virginia Foxx. The NC AP Wire has refused to carry this information to date. No other NC newspapers are carrying this important story at this time.
The clear evidence is available for all to see by viewing the articles on this matter running in the Greensboro News and Record and Winston Salem Journal both of which are members of the NC Associated Press. By comparing these articles to a search on "Gilberto Cruz Hernandez" on the Google News Search engine, all can see the suppression of this information.
North Carolina talk radio shows from the mountains to the coast have informed their audiences about this news. Public reaction has illustrated a high level of interest, concern, and anger about these cases. This anger and concern is increased by the censoring and bias of critical details by the NC AP wire service.
ALIPAC will continue to work to get this information and other suppressed stories to the public. All members of the NC press are encouraged to abandon the NC AP wire service as a source for news on immigration issues until improvements are made and the current censorship and bias is addressed. Citizens are encouraged to rely on radio and Internet news for full and accurate coverage.
