Fox News Hosts Flip Out as FAA Grounds Drone Gawking at Migrants Under Texas Bridge
Daily beast ^ | September 17, 2021 | Jamie Ross

Fox News can no longer bring its viewers live voyeuristic footage of desperate people huddled under a bridge in Texas—and its hosts are mad. Late Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration brought in a two-week flight restriction over Del Rio, which means that Fox News has to ground the drone it’s been using to show the scene at International Bridge between Del Rio and Mexico’s Ciudad Acuña. At least 10,000 migrants, largely from Haiti, have gathered at the bridge, and Reuters reports the people are low on food and water as temperatures hit 99 degrees Fahrenheit. The FAA said the flight restriction was needed “due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights,” and the media can still “make requests to operate in the area.” Fox News hosts, who have been fear-mongering about the gathering all week, reacted to the ban with anger. Sean Hannity accused the FAA of “trying to prevent Fox’s drone from showing the American people the truth and capturing images just like this... The FAA is being used to cover up for Biden’s failures. And we are going to let that stand? I don’t think so.”

And now to rally the government controlled media to defend and support this blatant censorship.

FNC is most affected, because they’re the only organization that dares cover what’s going on at the border. Therefore, the media can chortle about how it’s a logical move by the FAA and the extremists at FNC are becoming even more unhinged.

And the dumb masses will nod as they play with their smart phones.

Perhaps the writer of this piece of excrement would like to take in a half dozen of these Haitian “migrants”.

Um, how about equipping a FNC drone with a telephoto lens? I mean, satellites can take pictures of my backyard.

I know people would rather curse the dark vs light a candle, but seriously, all this requires some intelligence.

Not allowing cameras makes the situation seem better there.

Bodycams on every cop, but no drones seeing what we’re doing to undermine American law!

Depends on the exclusion zone as ordered by the FAA. Also they’re UNDER the bridge. Makes it hard to get a clean shot from a distance

..It was later in the evening, on Hannity or Ingraham, that it was reported that the U.S Border Patrol had requested these drone flights to be stopped...there is some question as to what is truth and what is fiction here....also, there are apparently yet another 10,000 Haitians getting ready to invade our country from this southern border....America, get ready to kiss yer ass goodbye.....

“America, get ready to kiss yer ass goodbye.....”

Only old folks who knew the real America will mourn. Middle age folks are indoctrinated, and welcome whatever comes because the government has told them it’s good. Younger folks have accepted that America will fall, it’s just time as far as they are concerned.

I'm not saying it's easy.

But, our snipers can execute a kill shot from a few football fields away. FNC, one of the biggest forces in media, certainly has the money or access to visual technology to do this.

Or, maybe they'd rather have some whine and cheese.

Ten bucks says someone figures this out in the next 72 hours.
