Media spent an entire week fabricating this narrative: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5869829/Father-two-year-old-face-child-separation-crisis-speaks-out.html … . Just one example. Don’t you think he has a point?https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1011402131876794374 …

Brian, your own network even ran with this narrative: https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/06/us/crying-girl-john-moore-immigration-cnnphotos/ … Other outlets also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/06/18/i-wanted-to-stop-her-crying-the-image-of-a-migrant-child-that-broke-a-photographers-heart/ … You may have questioned it, but this is just one of many examples of completely fabricated stories pushed as a legitimate counter to policy.
-
are you joking? the CNN story you shared says "a spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection later told CNN that the girl and her mother were not separated."
-
Buried how far down? After the huge photo and inference. Are you joking? That’s not a legitimate way to present that story and it falls in line with Time’s defense that it set the tone so context didn’t matter. That’s not solid reporting.
-
To briefly add about Time’s defense — other outlets stood by their ridiculous assertion that the context was irrelevant because “she became the face of the story.” But this is just one, one story of so many more that feeds this distrust of media.
-
I have also been careful to not universally indict all media as some journalists have been very balanced, but that is the exception. The threat to reporting is the poor practicing of it, not the reaction to the poor practice of it.

"Look, you may be able to name 3-400 journalists who got this story completely wrong, but there's no problem with *the media*"

The problem with your comment is that, this situation was going on for 5 weeks and there was no mention till the IG report and hearings! All this frenzy started that day to deflect from the serious corruption going on in the FBI & DOJ leadership! Truth!pic.twitter.com/yl0rAhdJ5v

What would be the difference between this cnn story and me publishing an article on 30-something balding men trying to kidnap young children using your photo, as long as I made it clear a few graphs down that the photo had nothing to do with the narrative?

And to be fair, u alerted the country to a terrible situation four years after it started, conveniently ignoring it when it was actually at it's worst. Once the spigot of potential democrat voters is at risk of being turned off, then u find religion & decide to do reporting on it

Those policies started in May 2017.
-
No. The only "policy" u could be referring 2 is treating breaking of the law as a criminal offense rather than ignoring it or as civil offense. So, they stopped ignoring the law in 2018, but families were separated since 1998. They just rushed border in much greater numbers now.

About the same amount of times you have floated the idea that Trump is a virtuous, effective leader even though you aren't qualified in any way to make that statement.
