The White House is frustrated by Fox News’ Bill Melugin’s reporting on the border crisis, Politico reported Tuesday.

Several White House and administration officials told West Wing Playbook they are increasingly frustrated with Melugin’s coverage on the border, “arguing that there is an alarmist quality to it, designed to feed political narratives rather than illuminate the actual issues feeding the migrant flow,” Politico reported.

Melugin’s reporting then came under fire for using drones to cover migrants crossing the border, with Politico arguing “the technique gives the story a dramatic visual scale that Fox pundits use to bolster their arguments about the enormity of the problem.” But it’s this type of reporting that has forced White House officials to become “increasingly irritated” by Melugin, according to the report.

Guess the french lady spokesperson ain't to happy since the video does show trespassers actually WALKING in across the border. Which she claims simply isn't happening. Keep up the good work there Bill. 😂👍

So in other words, soon this reporter will be facing a criminal investigation. These days, that is what happens to people who expose the left or don’t toe the line.

It’s always better for totalitarians and tyrannies, if the people are kept ignorant and compliant.

Tap his phones. Tail his family. Send his name to Merrick Garland. Connect him to January 6th. Order a bike rack.

The visuals of mass illegals is bad, so naturally the Whitehouse wants to suppress the information.

Apparently telling the truth is now a "technique."

And from the crew that every word they speak is a crafted lie.

My guess is, if the White House & Dear Leader are unhappy with Bill Melugin’s reporting, he will either be the subject of either a Satsi..er..FBI or IRS investigation soon. Fox is probably putting his separation package together as we speak.

I wouldn’t doubt it.

The Obama administration secretly monitored and sought a search warrant for Washington journalist and Fox News reporter James Rosen. The fbi labeling him a “criminal co-conspirator,” even though he isn’t charged with any crime....for apparently doing nothing more than accurately reporting on what that barrel of snakes was up to.

These people are closer to communists than socialists IMO.

Fifty ‘border crossers’ in Martha’s Vineyard is a crisis requiring National Guard action. Thousands a day videoed crossing our ‘secure border’ has ‘an alarmist quality to it’.

So 2 million encounters doesn’t qualify as ‘enormity’. Not counting the got aways either. Weird huh?

It is truly amazing that the other networks are simply pretending there is no story here. So much of the population really has no idea whatsoever. None.
