And the media wonders why Trump calls them f**e news after ABC admits it peddled f**e news
Jay Baker ~ July 6, 2018
It was just about a month ago that the hubbub erupted over a policy of the Donald Trump regime that led to the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border, resulting in some 1,500 children being allegedly "lost."
The mainstream media made a lot of hay over this "controversy." They went wall-to-wall in search of "lost" children and managed to turn up a host of photos of kids in dog kennels and kid-friendly prison buses. But they didn't find any "lost" children, and the photos they managed to find all came from the Barack Obama-era, which left the media with egg on their collective faces… not that they care as long as they skewered Trump in the process.
As we told you in this space at the time:
The children weren't "separated" from their parents, as the media claimed – though what is supposed to happen to children whose parents are imprisoned for breaking the law the media didn't say. The children in question were more unaccompanied minors. And they had been placed with relatives and "sponsors" rather being locked in kennels. They're only "missing" insofar as Health and Human Services has called the number they have for the sponsor or relative and the phone was not answered. It could mean anything… or nothing at all.]
Well wonder of wonders, this past Saturday ABC News came clean. In an article posted to the site titled, "A f**e news story helps expose a real crisis," the lefty anti-Trump propaganda outlet admitted the story was f**e but then proceeded to justify publishing f**e news.
From the article:
The Trump administration last year "lost" nearly 1,500 migrant children whom a government agency placed with U.S. sponsors.
Shocking news, but it wasn't true.
But it was enough to outrage politicians, stir up journalists and make the public ask questions. Chasing this misleading story, however, helped uncover a story that many found even more troubling. And this one was real.
The fact that it reported something that admittedly "wasn't true" didn't bother ABC in the least because, as the writer claims, it "uncovered a separate issue that had also been reported": that being the fact that Trump was following the law in holding i******s and separating the children from their parents until detention hearing could be held as opposed to just releasing them willy-nilly as Obama had done.
But deliberately publishing f**e news cannot be justified.
And ABC wonders why Trump calls them f**e news.
