It is time for the media to report what E-Verify actually does...Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld Arizona's mandatory E-Verify law, the press should turn its attention to reporting what actually happens when states require employers to verify the work eligibility of their new hires. Until now, most of the coverage has been focused on hypotheticals and "fears" of what mandatory E-Verify might do, rather than what it does do.

NPR's E-Verify Court Coverage: Fanning the Flames with Falsehoods
ReplyDeleteThe errors in National Public Radio's coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-3 decision to uphold Arizona's E-Verify law were so blatant and verifiable that the segment would have made a good candidate for one of NPR's famous April Fools Day reports. But the falsehoods that listeners heard in the "All Things Considered" segment are no joke. There has been no correction in the story online, which would indicate no one within the organization caught the errors.
