American Patrol Report -- April 3
No TV for ABP
On March 21 a crew from Cronkite News Service flew along the border with Glenn Spencer of ABP. They said they were there because ABP had been labeled a hate group by the SPLC and they wanted the truth. The report was supposed to have aired last week, but nothing happened. "I exchanged e-mails with Anne McClay after the March 21 interview to help her prepare her report and then nothing," said Glenn Spencer of ABP.
Spencer said that despite ground-breaking work in telling the truth about the border there has been a complete blackout of his organization by the mainstream media. "Public support is dropping because they don't know about us," Spencer said. "Of course that is why the SPLC is doing what it is doing," he added.
