NPR's lazy, creeping supply-and-demand denialism

The titillating subhead on NPR's web story promises listeners and readers an outrage:

    Sessions praised immigration restrictions of the 1920s -- laws that are widely regarded today as racist.

The implication is clear but reporters Mary Louise Kelly and Joel Rose (who has a history of promoting character assassinations) provide little more than murky insinuations to back up their provocative suggestion that Attorney General Sessions seeks to restore a racist quota system. Their segment will anger listeners and readers, but few will be better informed.
