This is from the New York Times’s blog:

He wasn’t the only Republican who delved into the issue. Representative Tom Tancredo, a fierce opponent to amnesty for illegal aliens, made headlines — a rare event for him — by [1] informing federal immigration services that undocumented foreigners would appear at a news conference today. Three illegal immigrants are to speak with Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, in support of a Senate bill to give legal status to those who[2] finish high school or[3] enroll in the military.[4] The Early Word: Immigration Returns to the Stage - The Caucus - Politics - New York Times Blog

Here’s my question–why is it a “rare occurrence” for Tancredo to make headlines, and whose decision is it? Assuming he doesn’t [5] drive off bridges like Ted Kennedy or dive under bathroom stalls like [6] Larry Craig, then the number of headlines he makes in the Mainstream Media depends on [7] the media’s own prejudices. After all, Tancredo makes [8] headlines at VDARE.com.
