I'm pointing out the bias of the M$M (and NPR) when they constantly bleat ...

Think of the women and children!

OBVIOUSLY they want to focus on the most sympathetic characters in the caravan because they want these people here in the USA. So they interview the queer and transgendered and the women who're escaping domestic violence (which BTW does not qualify for asylum).

The M$M isn't about to break the narrative that they're trying to establish ("The poor poor migrant!!") by interviewing any of the many strapping young men who're planning to rush the border or cross illegally as soon as they get the chance, because that's not part of the propaganda that they're trying to push.

That's why I posted some on-the-ground tweets that you will never see from the M$M: To give you a more realistic view of events and people.

Yanno, maybe these lawbreaking young men are the problem in Honduras (or wherever they come from), and they're just bringing their Central American problems with them. Why would we want to import them?

At some point you should consider if you are maybe the only person here who subjects themselves to NPR.

Like whining that whenever you go to a bar, you hate that they serve alcohol, or at restaurants you hate that they serve food. Did you know that at Bowling Alleys there are people bowling? Skate Parks have kids skating? Sports Stadiums have sports being played, and their fanatics?

Those pictures were just posted today so how have you had the time to see what "the M$M" is promoting? Did you see CNN this morning or their web site??? That's a real question. If you had you know what I'm talking about - basically that you're full of sh*t again. That seems to be what you do lately - come here to take a lying fake news data dump.

GSTRING:

The picture which features the two women and children in the foreground was from Reuters, and posted the same day as the videos which show MEN storming the wall, from Epoch Times. Also, I listened to NPR's take on the topic on the same day, which consistently misrepresented the makeup of the caravan, and soft-pedaled the lawbreaking intent of some of the migrants.

So there.

Hey, I believe in getting information from a WIDE VARIETY of sources, not just the ones I agree with! One of the things I can reliably get from NPR that I can't get from many other outlets is the spin that the ultra-liberal media wants to put on things. I get a lot of data from doing a "compare and contrast" with other outlets like ZH, WSJ, RT etc. It shows me which way each outlet wants to spin things.

So thanks for validating what I said, SIGHOLE. You made sh*t up as per usual. NPR is not "the M$M" and your saying M$M was trying to distort the narrative is as faulty (lying) as saying they are bought and paid for. CNN actually suggested those images of women and children might have been staged. Face it, you were caught lying again. It's a wonder if you ever post the truth.

But Reuters isn't "The M$M..." it's only a very small part. You insinuated The M$M. So, you were either lazy or misleading - I'm pretty sure I know which.

Not the illegal's fault. It's our own government for not enforcing the laws we already have.

Both parties are to blame for that. Waiting to see if Trump is going to change that or if he's just full of shit like the rest of them.


Yes - could be anyone, but you was who I was thinking about.

And this is just the kind of short thinking so many consumers make: "...those jobs would have paid a lot more if people weren't able to get away with paying illegals under the table at below minimum wage, which in turn stifles wages for better jobs at the same time."

That's exactly what I'm saying! Think it through - if those employers have to pay more, honest wages then they'll have to make up for that.... where? In the cost of goods and services. Eureka. It's all connected. Pay fair wages and everyone pays more for milk and cable, you move one thing up and it moves other things up at the same time. So which do you want on your salary? I'll take fair wages every day. Consumers tend to leave themselves out of the equation.

6ix:
Some people have a distorted and incomplete view of economics, Budgeting, funding.
They don't understand that Government is overhead, the ginormous parasite which is larger than the host organism.
Switching from non-tax paying to Taxpaying jobs will help pay for the Government. If there are 30 Million Illegal Aliens, consider how much uncollected Revenue that represents, and how that would change the status of Surplus/Deficit in the Budget each month.
The more that that expense is spread out, the LESS everybody pays. The Rate-of-Pay factor is not as impactful as the changing direction of fund flow from Mexico to IRS. The Taxation rate is more than 50% while transforming what an employer pays for work into what an employee is left with from that pay. You are not talking about doubling the Rate-of-Pay for the most menial of jobs, right?

As a wise man pointed out, a percentage of something is something, and a percent of nothing is ... Lemme see, multiply nothing, carry the nothing, add to the nothing....

He could at least post the script, no matter how boring and unentertaining the show is. These shows that nobody watches should have the easiest scripts to ferret out.

Even higher rated Shows like Food Network should have scripts available, and THOSE shows are sometimes unscripted.
