As Twitchy reported, Michelle Makin and Jose Vargas had a blunt, honest and compelling Twitter conversation about illegal immigration. As usual, lapdogs in the media were quick to expose their bias. This time, it was Univision’s Cristina Costantini.

Zing! That’s right. The “real journalist” over at Univision labeled Michelle Malkin a “right-wing columnist,” yet labeled illegal immigrant and amnesty advocate Jose Vargas a “journalist.” First it was “just a blogger,” now it’s just a “right-wing columnist.” No labels!
Guess who is also a “real journalist”?
.@xtinatini And you call yourself "journalist" w/no labels or qualifiers, even though you are a transparent advocate. @joseiswriting

Exactly. Why doesn’t she call herself a “left-wing columnist” or, you know, a “Shamnesty-supporting shill”?
.@xtinatini I respect @joseiswriting cuz he is at least open about his politix. Unlike all his advocates in newsrooms who feign objectivity.

.@xtinatini I'm open about my own biases and political leanings. Why can't you be? http://t.co/gJDxazaV26 @joseiswriting

Ms. Costantini finally responded. Sort of.

Huh?
.@xtinatini You didn't answer my question. @joseiswriting

Again, that wasn’t the question. And, again, why don’t you label yourself and your bias then?
I repeat: It’s not media bias that’s the problem. It's pretense of objectivity to which lefty "journalists" cling==> http://t.co/ebKfQtxVyQ

Precisely. Remember, even Soledad “Special Snowflake” O’Brien had the utter gall to proclaim herself above bias.
@xtinatini Then why didn't you label yourself transparently in your write-up on my exchange w/ @joseiswriting http://t.co/gJDxazaV26
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 4, 2013
Bingo.
So thanks @xtinatini for telling me about your immig bias. Still wanna know why you are a "journalist" but I'm just "right wing columnist?"

We are waiting!
@Infidelzfun @xtinatini I don't need an apology. Just asking for an explanation. I'm genuinely curious. @joseiswriting

So are we. Will this special snowflake, who hates labels unless they are the good kind aimed at people with whom she disagrees, respond? Doubtful.
Bueller? Bueller?

Heh.
