We already know it was going on with the manufactured crisis over child separations of people caught breaking U.S. law by entering the country illegally. The policies were Democrat policies, yet Democrats and Jeb Bush-style #NeverTrumps were decrying it as a product of President Trump's heartlessness, separating parents from children entering illegally as families, in order to keep the children out of their parents' jail. Yet they were President Obama's and President Bush's and President Clinton's policies, dating to 1997. The press pounded the drumbeat nonstop for days that President Trump was heartless and evil - the same way they did for President Reagan.
Best of all in this feeding frenzy, there were the photos: The crying toddler, crying as toddlers do, wildly, for all the universe to hear them. The big one on that front was the one shot by Getty Images photographer John Moore, showing a one-year old crying in front of Border Patrol agents, as her mother was apprehended for illegal entry and searched for weapons or drugss by the lawmen. The photo was a highly edited one, showing only the huge legs of the neutrally clad, utterly depersonalized Border Patrol officers, and the crying one-year-old, Yanela Sanchez, clad in a brand new bright pink toddler jacket and bright pink, brand new pink sneakers.
Time magazine edited the photo even more impressively, with this much-tweeted magazine cover here. The leftist who posted this example of it, of course viewed it as a cover for the ages.
I'm gonna agree with him that the magazine cover should be museuem-ized, but only as testimony to the power of fake news to shift public opinion.

THE TRUTH:
The girl’s father, Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, was located by the always-on-the-job Daily Mail, and told a very different story from what the press had been reporting.
One, the kid wasn’t separated.
Two, family separation indeed occur, from the Honduran illegal immigrant’s side. The girl’s mother had actually abandoned three other children and her father, to take the one-year-old toddler, through the hands of smugglers, to the U.S. illegally, without the father’s permission. She in fact didn’t tell anyone.
Three, this was no poverty story: The kid’s expensive shoes and jacket offered a hint of that in the photo, but now it turns out the mother apparently lived a very wealthy life, her spouse or babydaddy a sea captain over in Puerto Cortes. She had a spare $6,000 handy to pay a human smuggler for the crossing, according to the father.
Oh, and she’s been deported before, in 2013, a multiple entry case with little regard for U.S. law, as so many of them are.
And instead of inhuman treatment, the father says she’s comfortable and well-cared for by Americans over in McAllen, Texas.
What’s more, she was not coming up here under a credible fear of persecution, as has been reported from the asylum-promoting crowd, but here to make money, as the child’s dad said, dead set on taking a job from an American.
As in the previous comment, this will never see prime time.
When the media can’t influence people with the truth, they turn to despicable lies. Proving for all to see that the corrupt media spreads fake news which supports Trump’s claims and increases his credibility and decreases the media’s - they must be that desperate to wage a losing war like this.
>> this will never see prime time.
Bacause Disney and Comcast are corrupt.
the president should have a 3 strike rule for the media being allowed in press briefings. 3 strikes on reporting false hoods with in a 1 year period your organization losses its press pass for a year. and cant go to press briefings or ride in the pool of reporters that fallow the president and air force one. when the press gets angry aand they will refer them to how YouTube handles copyright infringement and violations of acceptable content rules. then inform them they are not having there free speech violated they are free to report what they want.
Years ago I was interviewed by a national magazine regarding a story about abuses when charging telephone calls. Everything I claimed happened was subsequently thoroughly documented not by the reporter but by a third party at the magazine. This was one paragraph in a tiny article about these abuses not a front page article about the president.
I find that Time magazine “mistake” to be a deliberate action to create news and the only mistake they made was they didn’t think they could be caught.
I see that cover with the Honduran in pink as a fine representation of the problem. The entire migrant world, standing there like a whining spoiled brat that can’t get its way.
Or maybe, I see one that in the year 2032 will be a 16 year old who hates America, and came here to whelp out 7 kids, who will helpfully pop out another 35 or 40 grandkids between them. Out of that crowd 2 or 3 will be in gangs, 13 will be on welfare, and one will get drunk and kill some sweet little American kid in a car wreck that should have never happened.
Another good meme would be to make it like the verizon network commercial, with hundreds standing behind her representing the people she will sponsor, whelp out and their descendants. And BEHIND Trump, a sweet little American kid.
B
I wish Trump’s wife had staid home yesterday.
And was deported in 2013 follow the $$$$$
LOL - NOT the response corrupt liberal elites in the press were looking for...
First time is a misdemeanor, second (and any more) is a felony. The mother has now destroyed any opportunity to enter the U.S. legally. Idiot!
Perfect height for picking strawberries. Those bushes are only 2 feet tall at most. An adult has to bend over all day.
Like the cover ‘Madam President’
