Fox News and Trump Reboot a Fearmongering TV Drama From 2014

This has been the year of the TV remake: reboots of “Charmed” and “Magnum P.I.,” revivals of “Murphy Brown” and “Roseanne.” So maybe it should not be surprising to find Fox News remaking a hit from 2014: “Terror at the Border,” with a significant role for one Donald J. Trump.

Fact Check RATING Miscaptioned ORIGIN

Did Members of the Migrant Caravan Paint a Swastika on an American Flag and Set It on Fire?

A photograph of protesters in the Honduran capital setting fire to a U.S. flag inflamed some Americans.


Migrants traveling in a caravan from Central America to the U.S. drew a swastika on an American flag and set it on fire.

RATING
Miscaptioned
ORIGIN

On 22 October 2018, as thousands of migrants trying to reach the United States headed north out of Central America into southern Mexico, social media users shared an image some claimed to show members of the caravan defacing an American flag with a swastika and burning it:

The image was real enough, but it didn’t depict what many claimed of it. The picture was taken by Associated Press photographer Fernando Antonio on 19 October 2018 in front of the American embassy in Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, but the caption accompanying the photograph noted that at the time the picture was snapped, the migrant caravan was “stuck” at the Guatemala-Mexico border, hundreds of miles away from Tegucigalpa:

Two people burn a United States flag during a protest in favor of the caravan of migrants that is currently stuck on the Guatemala-Mexico border, in front of the American embassy, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Friday, Oct. 19, 2018. The U.S.-bound caravan that once totaled more than 3,000 Central American migrants looked to be about a third that size Saturday morning, when its remaining members woke up on a bridge that divides the borders of Guatemala and Mexico and waited to get past a crossing guarded by hundreds of Mexican federal police.

Unsurprisingly, some websites spread misinformation about the image with vaguely-worded stories. InfoWars, the conspiracy peddling network run by Alex Jones, reported under the headline “Hondurans Paint Swastika on American Flag, Set It on Fire; Wave Honduran Flags, Give Us the Finger” that “These are the people demanding we open our borders.”

Right-wing blog Breitbart.com posted the picture with the headline “PHOTO: Caravan Protesters Paint Swastika on American Flag, Burn It in the Street.”

Although the persons pictured were protesting the treatment of migrants traveling with the caravan, they were not themselves part of the caravan.

About 7,000 migrants started north from Honduras on 12 October 2018, and on the day the photograph was taken they were temporarily blocked at the Mexican border by authorities. After facing down riot police wielding pepper spray, many broke through the border fence separating the two countries and as of 22 October 2018 had reached Tapachula in southern Mexico.

Caravans comprise many asylum seekers, including women and children fleeing violence and hunger in their home countries. The activity has become the source of fear-mongering by U.S. politicians in the lead-up to the 2018 midterm elections.

Snopes.com has long been engaged in the battle against misinformation, an effort we could not sustain without the support of our readers.

As always SIG trolls and spreads lies and again shows she is nothing more than a troll and sick sick bitch. She quotes twitter. Probably a Russian troll account.

The caravan of more than 7,200 refugees escaping desperate poverty and rampant violence in Central America has successfully crossed into Mexico on its way to the United States. The caravan, which has taken on the character of a mass political demonstration, is mostly composed of Hondurans and includes about 2,300 children and 2,200 women.

With hundreds of miles behind them and hundreds of miles ahead, the migrants marched on Sunday toward the Mexican city of Tapachula in the state of Chiapas.

In spite of the scorching sun and military helicopters hovering overhead, the spirited caravan chanted, “Migrants are not criminals, we are international workers!” and “Why kill us? We are the hope!”

Clearly, they want to be American citizens.

Sig's sarcasm and link exposes where her russian train of thought comes from. Follow her link and see who's thinking she is reflecting. You'll see,

Published by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). The Fourth International was founded by Leon Trotsky in 1938. The ICFI consists of the Socialist Equality Party national sections throughout the world. Only a russian would seek out this source. Isn't that right comrade sig?

You don't understand, comrade.

The article that I quoted SUPPORTS these "international workers". If those self-described communists support the caravan but I'm against it, what does that make me? An anti-communist?

Epic logic fail on your part.

No comrade I understand completely. Your source promotes socialism, workers over democracy. You're trying to hang the label anti-democracy anti-capitalist around the necks of the marchers coming here. It's supports Trumps message against democrats. Ya know, those damn liberals.

Your first post shows explicitly your disdain for those who make up the caravan. No, your second post does not show support. It too attempts to send a negative message about the caravan as well comrade.

Well, let's see if we can unscramble your scrambled thinking.

ACCORDING TO YOU the source promotes socialism. It also supports the caravaners. Democrats ALSO support the caravaners. Does that mean they support socialism?

Trump is AGAINST the caravaners. He is also against Democrats. Does that mean that he's against socialism?

Again you mistake my exposing you as a debate between myself and you. It is not comrade. I don't debate trolls.
