The Media Research Center<\/a> posted a startling article yesterday about a media outlet in America and their attitude toward truth.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

ABC openly admitted Sunday to having published \u201cfake news\u201d \u2013 their words, not mine \u2013 about the Trump administration \u201closing\u201d 1,500 migrant children, a debunked story that quickly caught fire and spawned countless hashtag campaigns and anti-ICE protests across the country. (Here’s MSNBC’s Chris Hayes boo-hooing over the whole nonsensical thing<\/a> about a month ago.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now, well after the myth has been permanently\u00a0ensconced as fact in the brains of millions of rapid anti-Trumpers\u00a0nationwide,\u00a0ABC’s admitting the entire thing was false \u2013 but, in a stunning feat of mental gymnastics, they claim the bogus story ended up being a good thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In an article actually entitled, \u201cA fake news story helps expose a real crisis<\/a>,\u201d author Lauren Pearle admits the Trump administration was unfairly accused of having \u201clost\u201d 1,500 kids who\u2019d crossed the southwest U.S. border illegally \u2013 a claim I\u2019d disputed in a video roughly four weeks ago<\/a>, only to be accused of Nazism by radical progressives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But by ABC\u2019s own admission (and as I’d pointed out),\u00a0the administration didn\u2019t \u201close\u201d anyone; they\u2019d simply placed these kids with sponsors,\u00a0usually a family member,\u00a0who didn\u2019t respond when the government tried to\u00a0check up on the child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow. So it’s okay to report news that is false as long as you believe it serves a higher purpose. Does that mean it’s okay for your child to tell you a lie if that serves a higher purpose? Is it okay for your government to lie to you if that serves a higher purpose? Whatever happened to the concept of integrity.<\/p>\n

The article explains what actually happened at the border:<\/p>\n

Pearle doesn\u2019t point out, of course, that the Obama administration also had a policy of temporarily separating families at the border (a fact MSNBC finally and begrudgingly admitted after weeks of slamming Trump<\/a>), albeit to a lesser extent given the administration\u2019s policy of simply releasing illegal aliens into the country without so much as a slap on the wrist. In fact, the policy of family separation was first launched after the Obama administration was sued for holding migrant children in detention facilities with their parents for extended periods of time \u2013 a court case that ended when the Ninth Circuit ruled these kids couldn\u2019t be held for more than 20 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

When the Trump administration reversed the previous policy of simply letting illegal alien families go free, that Obama-era court decision resulted in temporary family separations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it okay to lie because you have an agenda to push and then claim it was done for higher purposes? Evidently the mainstream media thinks so.<\/p>\n
