Will NPR report fairly on farm employment?


NPR is announcing they will have a piece on the farmworker shortage, and why they need immigrants to do the work. It will be astonishing if they ask the owners of the farms how much they pay their workers, because in other such pieces, they NEVER ask such questions. I have also never heard them bring up the fact that many farm workers are cheated out of their meager wages, and have horrible working conditions.

I will be happy if this piece is better than their usual, which caters to their big donors. When talking about things like wages, I have NEVER heard them ask how much the executives are making.
