WashPo Blacklists Immigration Reform Advocate
By Greg L | 18 June 2008 | National Politics | 12 Comments
D.A. King of the Dustin Inman Society confirms what was for many of us a matter of speculation: that the Washington Post blacklists people who write letters to the editor based on their political viewpoint. I can’t say I’m all that surprised.
As someone who studies - and is active in trying to stop - the illegal immigration and illegal employment crisis created by the Bush administration’s refusal to secure American borders - war on terror be damned - I wish I could say that I am surprised that the Washington Post, one of the more aggressive proponents of open borders keeps a “no publish” blacklist for its letters to the editor.
My only surprise comes from the admission and confirmation from an editor inside the newspaper that the suspected censorship is reality.
I take it as a personal point of pride and endorsement to learn that I am on their blacklist.
The Dustin Inman Society, named after sixteen year-old the victim of a fatal auto accident involving illegal alien that happened in Georgia in 2000, advocates for policies that would discourage the unlawful presence of illegal aliens in Georgia. They’ve been pretty successful, getting the Georgia State Police to enroll in the Section 287(g) Program, and the state has adopted tough measures to combat illegal immigration and the unlawful employment of illegal aliens. D.A. King has been an effective spokesman for the organization, who has won widespread respect inside and outside of Georgia.
That must bother the editorial board at the Washington Post to no end. So the next time you peruse the letters to the editor in the Post and notice that just about all of them that discuss the illegal alien problem in some way seem to hold views that closely correlate with the viewpoint of the Washington Post editorial board, you’ll know why that’s the case.

The w/p can print whatever they like, as long as they don’t do it on my nickel.
IM SHOCKED!!!
No surprises here. They ignore me too. However, the Washington
Times has printed a few of my Letters to the Editor. (I said
some unflattering things about James P. Moran) As I save
said before in regards to the WashPoo, “Havent subscribed since
the bird died.”
They’ve never published my letter either.
Breaking news from the Washington Post: Tomorrow’s edition will have a printed coupon for a buy one get one free taco offer redeemable at Juan’s Tacos in Adelphi. If the coupon doesn’t look legit don’t worry, Juan’s Tacos is not legit either. But that won’t stop Juan from earning lots of tax free dollars tomorrow!

And they continue to wonder why their circulation numbers are in free fall.
Those of us in Herndon gave up on the Washington Compost some two years ago. They would not print any of our letters. The post would interview us repeatedly, and might or might not print a distorted view of our points.
Socialists supressing a contrary opinion? Here, in America?
Even though the Washington Times is not all that reliable regarding delivery, I stick with them because the Washinton Post is obviously an affiliate of Pravda and the socialists agenda.
We have dropped the Wash Post 2 yrs ago and should have done it sooner.
Also dropped the Potomac News.
It is so nice to be rid of them.
I also canceled my POST subscription a year ago when I wised up. Anyone who relies on the POST for their news really doesn’t get it.
Gee Larry Craig is speaking on CSPAN…. they don’t block or moderate, I guess.
