(Not The Bee) Last night, ABC host David Muir made extra sure to ding Donald Trump for suggesting that the 20,000 Haitian illegals who have been dumped in the town of Springfield, Ohio, are not actually killing and eating the local wildlife and pet population.
The media is running with that “fact check” because they are terrifiedthat this might make the establishment look bad.
The problem with their assertion (apart from the fact is that it’s from a bureaucrat who is incentivized to not make himself look bad) is that it doesn’t actually prove there is no problem. Consider the phrasing.
ABC: “We called the city manager and he said that’s not happening.”
That sentence perfectly describes the modern media.
Multiple reports by citizens claiming something is happening and the media “investigation” stops as soon as a bureaucrat tells them what they want to hear.
