So spending several paragraphs talking about how he is not in the country legally and mentioning how he didn't have a valid work status in another is how you think a reporter buries something? I would think burying that part of the story would probably mean it wasn't mentioned at all, or at least only alluded to in one tiny part. It looks like they used the language of the statement they received from the court in describing his status, and I doubt the actual legal terms include the word "illegal". The only way someone could miss that part of the story is by not reading it, and I don't think you can hold Wapo accountable if someone doesn't read all of an article. For future reference, how big do you want the neon, flashing letters to be before you don't claim something is buried in a story?[/quote]
