You’ll be able to’t make it up.
Th U.S. southern border is uncontrolled. Illegals have been streaming into the border cities in Texas and Arizona, together with fentanyl and human smuggling. Ladies amongst them have been raped.
Again and again illegals — males, girls and youngsters — trying to breach the border drown within the effort.
All of this has been happening for months and months. In 2021 alone there 1.7 million illegals who crossed into the US. However liberal media consideration?
Right here’s a headline from a Cal Thomas column — in February of this yr, a full eight months in the past.
The border disaster is a giant story — that almost all media proceed to disregard
Cal famous this:
“As soon as in TV journalism there have been folks referred to as task editors and information administrators.
Amongst their duties was to instruct reporters and digicam crews which tales they had been to cowl that day. Their selections had been based mostly on a number of elements that included what they thought to be information, viewer curiosity (i.e., rankings) and, far more subtly, their very own biases.
…The facility to disregard continues to be the best energy main media have, and few points display that greater than the hassle at our southern border.
Fox Information and The New York Submit have been the one media entities to persistently cowl the flood of undocumented migrants getting into the nation illegally. Critics normally dismiss something carried by these retailers as coming from “right-wing media” and thus inherently untrustworthy.”
Ahhh. However now?
Out of the blue the media is freaking out over the flood of illegals into rich, white and liberal Martha’s Winery within the sanctuary state of Massachusetts — a “flood” of fifty despatched to the far left Martha’s Winery by Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis.
Right here’s a headline from Fox Information:
Martha’s Winery: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS erupt in anger at DeSantis for flying migrants to ritzy enclave
Media referred to as the transfer ‘inhumane’ and accused DeSantis of ‘human trafficking’
Fox lists the sudden outburst of outraged media consideration by citing the next:
* “A Thursday ABC Information report launched the story by calling it a ‘stunt” that used human beings to ‘rating political factors,’ whereas ‘CBS Mornings’ ushered in a section on Martha’s Winery detailing how migrants ended up being ‘used for politics’ in an ‘inhumane’ means.
* “The phrase inhumane was a great one to make use of on this explicit case,’ CBS’ Gayle King mentioned after the report was learn. “Individuals don’t know the place they’re going, folks which might be there don’t know that you just’re coming.”
* The View’s Whoopi Goldberg referred to as DeSantis a “bonehead” and the presence of migrants within the tony trip paradise of wealthy liberals “nasty.”
* To not be outdone within the outrage division was Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Morning Joe who huffed that this was nothing lower than “political human trafficking” that was actually all about DeSantis “proudly owning the libs.”
* MSNBC’s Pleasure Reid referred to as DeSantis’s sending the migrants “merciless and sick and sadistic.”
Astonishingly, movie maker Ken Burns — on CNN to advertise a brand new documentary on U.S. actions through the Holocaust — mentioned this:
“Effectively it’s the abstraction of human life. It’s principally saying that you need to use a human life that’s as invaluable as yours or mine or Lynn’s, (fellow movie maker Lynn Novick) and to place it able of changing into a political pawn in anyone’s authoritarian sport.”
Burns added that the Florida governor had “weaponized human beings for a political sport,” a transfer that he claimed was “straight out of the authoritarian playbook.”
And on and on the outrage went.
Not a phrase from Burns or any of the others within the media about Joe Biden’s disastrous border insurance policies which might be actually killing illegals as they try and cross the Rio Grande river. Speak about authoritarian.
A lot much less are they discussing the 1000’s of kilos of fentanyl smuggled into the US throughout the border. The Washington Occasions headlined this in August of this yr:
July border stunner: Sufficient fentanyl to kill each American
Fentanyl floods the border as July shatters trafficking document
All of this and the liberal media yawns? However the entrance of a mere fifty illegals into ritzy, Biden-supporting, closely white Martha’s Winery causes a media freak out?
On the much more humorous facet of the Winery liberals hypocrisy was a poster that dots island companies, as seen right here. It reads partially, capital letters within the unique:
“We stand with IMMIGRANTS, with REFUGEES, with INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, and with PEOPLE OF ALL FAITHS. We stand with our COMMUNITY.
All Are Welcome Right here
hate has no enterprise right here”
However when a mere fifty migrants- folks of color- arrive? The truth is inside 24 hours the closely white liberals of Martha’s Winery has them shipped out.
So.
What the liberal media has vividly illustrated right here is the sheer hypocrisy of -the liberal media. Illegals crossing the southern border and flooding into Texas and Arizona by the tens of 1000’s? No massive deal.
However usher in fifty to the left-wing and white paradise of Martha’s Winery? And bam.
To borrow from the filmmaker Ken Burns, the authoritarian fist of the left comes down like a hammer.
As I mentioned: You’ll be able to’t make it up.
