Media Misses the Mark: Worcester’s Sanctuary City Vote Misrepresented
The Radio Roundtable says that the national coverage of the Worcester Sanctuary City vote got it wrong. They focused on the appearance of the people who spoke not on the substance of what they had to say. They ignored people speaking about how they feel their government is trying to erase their existence. The vote on the petition, which is non-binding, was asking that the Worcester City Council reaffirm what is already guaranteed under Massachusetts law. That was ignored by the media in favor of a narrative of a city gone off the rails.
