Breitbart<\/a> posted an article today on how some of the media handled the coverage of the Republican National Convention<\/a>. As you know, part of the Republican platform includes deporting illegal aliens that commit crimes. As part of the presentation last night, the Republicans included speakers who had been impacted by the crimes of illegal immigrants<\/a>. Unfortunately, much of America<\/a> did not get to see that part of the program because CNN<\/a> cut away from the convention at that point.<\/p>\n

The article at Breitbart reports:<\/p>\n

Mary Ann Mendoza, Sabine Durden, and Jamiel Shaw, who each lost a child through crimes committed by illegal aliens, spoke from the heart about why they supported Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s proposal to enforce immigration law and build a border wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaw, who is black, told the tearful audience<\/a>\u00a0in Cleveland<\/a>\u2019s Quicken Loans Arena<\/a> \u201cYou\u2019d think Obama cared, and black lives mattered \u2026 Only Trump called me on the phone one day to see how I was doing \u2026 Trump will put America first.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But CNN, which lately fought to rebuild its audience by including more conservative perspectives, filtered out those voices, returning to the speeches in time for Rep. Michael McCaul<\/a> (R-TX), who gave a good but otherwise unremarkable address.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A\u00a0purported screenshot spread through social media with CNN\u2019s chyron apparently describing these speakers as \u201cimpacted by undocumented immigrants\u201d \u2014 a cold whitewash of the fact that their family members were murdered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The network did carry\u00a0the live speech of Pat Smith, mother of Benghazi<\/a> victim Sean Smith. But it bracketed her speech with fact-checking, suggesting that despite her feelings that Hillary Clinton was to blame, there was no direct link to the former Secretary of State. CNN\u2019s fact-checker later labeled the claim that Clinton was responsible for the Benghazi deaths as \u201cfalse.\u201d (Jake Tapper<\/a> did push back, pointing out that the argument was that Clinton was responsible for her entire department.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sort of media reporting may explain why Hillary is still in the race despite a history of bad decisions, bad judgement, and basic dishonesty.<\/p>\n
