How about more racist crap?

The use of "illegals" is unprofessional. Short cuts are not good when
reporting the news. It changes the slant of the report.

Example:

Bob:"I am going to tell everybody that John Doe is in jail.

Joe: But he is the WARDEN!

Bob: I won't mention that part".

See the slant?
