MSNBC Does Solid Reporting about the Migrant Caravan

An MSNBC reporter on the scene contradicted the mainstream media narrative that Central American migrants are primarily women and children and were comprised of those seeking political asylum rather than economic benefits.

The media rolled out this same trope in promoting open-borders, mass-immigration policies in Europe.

Said fair-and-balanced reporter MSNBC Gadi Schwartz:

“You’re going to see a lot of families here, a lot of women and children, but the truth is the majority of the people that are part of this caravan … the majority of them are men…From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men, and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum. Instead, they have talked about going to the United States for a better life and to find work.”

Hopefully this reporter won’t be hauled into HR for straying from the liberal groupthink.

The echo chamber is also engaging in predictable faux outrage over border patrol agents using tear gas on mostly adult male migrants who were throwing rocks and bottles at them.

Yet another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”

The Democrat-media establishment seems to have forgotten that the Obama administration also used the same techniques at the border when necessary.

I'm certain that all of the media figures attacking @realDonaldTrump for using tear gas at the border publicly spoke out against Obama for doing the same when he was in office.

Our fair & balanced media would never engage in selective outrage. 🙄https://t.co/imOmDZ0kiy read more
