Top 5 Immigration Stories of 2010…really?
It’s inevitable. At this time of year the media and their minions like to do top ten lists because:
- They have nothing better to do.
- Their editors/producers told them to.
- People will read them (eyebrow raised, looking at you).
- It’s what they’ve always done.
- The highly paid consultant said so.
- The intern worked on it for two weeks, poor kid.
- The newbie in the newsroom suggested it at the morning meeting, and everyone sarcastically said “that’s a great idea!”
- It was either that or “favorite New Year’s Traditions”…wait, didn’t NT do that?
- It’s a quick and easy way to fill space.
- Everyone else is doing it.
So with that in mind, Southern California Public Radio published a list of the top 5 Immigration stories of 2010. It starts with the Tamaulipas migrant massacre. HERE are the rest.
What do you think? Did they miss any?
