    For some reason, they omit that this illegal alien had an outstanding warrant for murder open in Mexico

    How do you suppose they managed to omit this key detail?

    This is a strange story.So the illegal has been here for 12 years
    and all of a sudden ICE finds him driving his wife( why does she have a different last name?) to a medical appointment?
    Did Mexico send info to ICE? 12 years ago?

    How have they supported themselves? well other than the welfare we have given them.Any bets on who has been paying the medical bills for the other 4 births and this one?

    Also for a scheduled c-section. Not like she was in labor. Pure manipulation

    Now that word is out the dude was wanted for murder, the story will get dropped

    Anyone want to take a bet on this prediction?

    So many of the Kennedy offspring seem to be developmentally challenged
    Why is that?

    The Kennedys are still dealing with their own family's guilt. It is easier for some if they can point the finger at others. Building wealth off of theft, murder, and addiction has its effects.

    Funny. They never seemed to me to be self-aware enough to have any family guilt. My mistake.

    She is still better off driving herself to the hospital than having a Kennedy drive her.

    It always helps the unbiased media narrative when you just label something as racial invective in a headline. So now apparently Republicans are just sitting back and letting Trump say the "n-word" or something.... Oh wait... he called yet another person a "dog."

    The MSM are the enemy of the American People. Everyone was afraid of them to say it not too long ago. But they turned so cray cray and reporting fake news that now it’s just a known fact.

    Someone dearly needs to lend you a dictionary. Your consistent misuse of the word "fact" can only be explained as an "alternative fact".

    CNN Primetime Viewership is down 23% year-over-year
    The choice to go with a 24/7 hate-fest has been a ratings disaster
    Yet Zucker was re-hired
    It's almost like leadership there is motivated by something other than commercial and financial concerns

    " .... (CNN's) 1.01 million total viewer average in prime time is -23 percent vs. the same week last year, and its 686,000 total day viewer average is -24 percent vs. last year. ....."

    Explains why they try so hard to have their competition censored.

    It is a news story to the left because they genuinely believe it shows hypocrisy on the part of their political opponent. This may be, seriously, one of the best examples I've ever seen of something seemingly small actually. speaking volumes "'Sessions dined at Mexican restaurant before giving speech against immigration' being a headline" illustrates at least 5 different trends in just 1 short sentence.

    * The left's refusal to distinguish between illegal immigration and immigration.
    * The left's refusal to acknowledge that the right generally does distinguish between illegal immigration and immigration.
    * The left's automatic assumption that anyone opposing either immigration or illegal immigration must be a racist.
    * The left's segregatory categorization of things and people that identifies them primarily by their demographics - the point of associating eating Tex-Mex with one's views on ethnically Mexican people, because they are both in the same category.
    * Binary-thinking political entities that do nothing but tell "the right" or "the left" only what they want to hear about how bad the other side is, but are still somehow considered news sources.

    The NYT's hot take -- it is worried about the agenda of the commie, pedofile-enabling Pope

    Wait a second... weren't we all OK with attacking the Catholic church for its sexual abuse problems? Haven't people on the left (and right - across all political spectrums) been all-in on attacking this issue?

    But now that it's a pope the left likes, all of a sudden attacking those issues is "weaponizing" the issue. OK...

    Sex abuse scandals should be attacked whenever they occur.

    That article is about the inner politics within the Catholic Church.

    The fact that this is your takeaway explains a lot about some of your takes. Yes, I'm not stupid. I know what the article is about. I also know enough about interviewing, context, and framing to recognize when a viewpoint is being reflected in the way in which a story is presented.

    There would have been no article attempting to dismiss the accusers if this had been Pope Benedict, whom the press hated. They would have framed this as a bold minority standing up to the internal forces attempting to silence victims. None of that here. It's all about those nasty conservatives trying to exploit the situation for their own ends.

    I'm sure you noticed that the first thing this article discusses in terms of the impact of this conflict has nothing to do with the accusation that the sitting pope covered up allegations and attempted to restore a child molester to power. It's not even until graph 6 that the accusations are actually mentioned - and even then we aren't even told what they are, except that they are unsubstantiated!!! Are you kidding me? This article basically attempts to argue that Francis said "be nice to gay people" and conservative people said "that's it, I want him gone."

    "Since the start of his papacy, Francis has infuriated Catholic traditionalists as he tries to nurture a more welcoming church and shift it away from culture war issues, whether abortion or homosexuality. “Who am I to judge?” the pope famously said, when asked about gay priests.

    Just how angry his political and doctrinal enemies are became clear this weekend, when a caustic letter published by the Vatican’s former top diplomat in the United States blamed a “homosexual current” in the Vatican hierarchy for sexual abuse. It called for Francis’ resignation, accusing him of covering up for a disgraced cardinal, Theodore E. McCarrick."

    Notice - all he's doing is covering up for a "disgraced cardinal." And from the context, we can see that the issue must be that he was gay, because that's the context in which this is being framed.

    Not a single word about how all of this comes in the context of child molestation issues within the church. Not. One. Word. And no mention of the fact that "having sex with parishioners" would be unacceptable and grounds for dismissal regardless of whether he were gay or straight. It's allllll a gay witch hunt. Nothing else.

    Well now ....


    ps - Vigano is the Archbishop who claimed the Pope knew about the abuses.

    The Times is more worried it might lose a voice on global warming
    This Pope loves lecturing everyone on PC talking points, rarely discusses Jesus
    I think he might get removed. It has happened before

    Good Carlson segment on what CNN is doing at the moment with regard to Lanny Davis' lying

    Glenn Greenwald says they are embarrassing themselves, again -- "They lied to the entire world"

    And in case you thought it was just an overzealous progressive social media editor, here's the print headline:



    Yes... Francis' refusal to answer, explain, or acknowledge the issues is him "taking the high road."

    Care to weigh in on that one?
