On Nov. 16, the Bradenton Herald published, on the front page, a very sympathetic article on undocumented immigrants. It was one and three quarter pages. That’s almost two full pages. Back on page 6 was a 113-word article on a citizen who saved a sheriff’s deputy’s life, by shooting a criminal. Nuff said!
