Just about every day now brings with it horrible stories about crimes committed by people who crossed into the U.S. illegally via Biden's open border.
Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) ~ NEW: In statement to @FoxNews, ICE confirms that the Ecuadorean illegal alien charged with raping a 13-year-old girl in NYC was caught by Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, TX in June 2021, then released into the U.S. w/ a future court date. A judge ordered him to be deported in February 2022, but he was never removed.
That makes him part of ICEs non-detained docket, which we reported this week has exploded to 7.4 million cases - with each ICE officer currently having to manage an average of 7,000 cases each.
That's just one of the many similar stories.
In another story about innocent people who have been killed as a direct result of Biden's dereliction of duty at the border, the Associated Press decided to try and run a little cover for this administration. There's a not-so-small detail missing from both this AP post and the actual story:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ 2 men arrested in strangulation of 12-year-old Houston girl whose body was found in a creek.
http://apnews.com/article/girl-12-killed-houston-arrest-31b535cc2d1a27fc972c6f83c3d33e8a?
Guess what the AP deemed not worthy of mentioning in their report?
Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) ~ Anything else about these "2 men" worth reporting? Anything else relevant to current events in our country that anyone with a shred of journalistic integrity would feel compelled to include?
This wasn't worth mentioning:
Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) ~ Not only does AP not mention that both suspects are illegal aliens who were both recently caught & released at border, they don’t even mention that they are from Venezuela, which police publicly disclosed.
“2 men.”
Media across the country will use AP wires/reporting on this.
Of all the media outlets we can't possibly hate enough, the AP is right up there at the top of the list.
The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) ~ The AP hates you, American citizen. Come to peace with it.
Once again, the fact that the two men were in the country wasn't just left out of the headline, but omitted from the entire story.
Megan Basham (@megbasham) ~ It is bad enough the AP does not mention in the headline that both these men were here illegally. But to omit that information in the body of the story is a level of journalistic malpractice I could not have imagined. They don’t even feel they have to pretend to provide relevant reporting anymore. And that’s frankly chilling.
If the two suspects were citizens who had been to a Trump rally the AP would have mentioned that no less than five times in the story.
Ken Gardner (@KenGardner11) ~ This post and the linked article leave out a pretty important fact about the two accused murderers. It isn’t hard to guess what fact they left out. God, our media is terrible.
The AP and many other propaganda outlets that still laughably believe they're in the field of journalism are beyond repair.
