Corporate Media Cover For Biden’s Border Invasion By Pretending Laken Riley Murder Suspect Wasn’t An Illegal Crosser
The Federalist ^ | FEBRUARY 26, 2024 | JORDAN BOYD

Corporate media are covering for the deadly consequences of President Joe Biden’s border invasion by pretending the illegal border crosser who allegedly assaulted, kidnapped, imprisoned, and murdered 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley this week was merely a nearby resident and not an illegal alien from Venezuelan with a criminal history.

One day after Riley’s body was reported missing and subsequently found following an early morning run on her university’s campus in Athens, Georgia, Jose Ibarra was charged with several felonies related to her disappearance and death.

The revelation sparked outrage among Americans who have noticed a pattern of preventable crimes by foreigners who crossed the open border under the Biden administration’s watch and prompted several letter-writing campaigns from Georgia Republicans who have done little to curb the state’s deadly sanctuary city policies.

Instead of acknowledging the prevalence of illegal border crosser crimes, corporate media launched a widespread operation to obscure the murder suspect’s nationality and his illegal presence in the U.S.

In its attempt to shift the blame for Riley’s death from the people encouraging a border invasion to the “fears of solo female athletes,” the Associated Press referred to the 26-year-old alleged murderer as an “Athens resident” instead of a Venezuelan who illegally made his way into the U.S. in 2022. The publication even went so far as to invoke the “2018 death of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts while out jogging” but refused to mention that her murderer was also an illegal border crosser.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also incorrectly identified Ibarra as an “Athens man.”

The media is NOTICABLY spiking this story.

That’s why the super pacs should take out 30 second ads about this on the legacy media.

I spoke to some low info friends in Boston. They had not even heard about this.

I just read about this. The morons who love to kiss illegal alien asses are now saying that the just because the Georgia student was murdered by an illegal alien it doesn’t mean that the murder has any connection to illegal immigration. I knew this was going to happen once the politicians legalized “recreational drugs”. Their voters should have stuck with basketballs for their “recreation”.

ABC, NBC, CBS, did NOT even mention her murder so they are going with the “If we dont report it, it never happened” angle, it worked during the Obama years..so they know they cant talk about her murder otherwise it will hurt Biden in the general election so instead its just removed from the headlines, she isn’t dead as far as they are concerned, her death never happened

Stupid Urinal-Constipation referred to the killer as an “Athens man”. Didn’t take long for those morons to accept a murderer as being one of them.

I’m stuck around low information Dems as well.

They live in a CNN / NYT narrative bubble. Anything outside of their “trusted news sources” they don’t know about and regard it as likely conspiracy theories.

I’ve yet to meet a conservative that at least didn’t know what the MSM spin narrative was on a given topic. Liberals live in complete information cocoons. They’d have to in order to support Xiden.

I never argue with liberals. Pointless.

No, she doesn’t, not really. She has non-whites only events on taxpayers dime.

Illegalbalien. Arrested twice before this murder.
The second attack was in Athens GA, he was released because that city declared itself a sanctuary city (UGA influenced) despite GAState law prohibiting such local declaration s.

yup.

its much more productive to mock them

laugh at them

tell them the truth while laughing

and then when they try to disprove the truth

they have to look at the truth

rarely works , but does occasionally even if they never admit it.

When my foreign-born husband was applying for entry into the US he was required to submit proof of having no criminal record and proof of having a clean bill of health, among other things.

There are reasons for screening out criminals and carriers of disease. Democrats don’t seem to (know or) care about these things.
