CNN Anchor’s Tears – Good For Discourse?

One of the startling new methods CNN has employed to fight for the Democrat’s positions is their use of anchor-tears. By this I mean, changing issues from Right Vs Left into Right Vs Wrong and then crying , gasping and wailing on air over the perceived injustices perpetrated by conservative policy. With this tactic they believe anchors can take a position on issues and still be accepted as credible journalists.

Here is how it works… Do Republicans believe that it is not the government’s place to provide health insurance or are Republicans evil people in support of babies dying? Do Republicans believe in lowering taxes or do they believe in stealing money from the poor and giving it to the rich? Do Republicans believe that we need to enforce border security or are they racists?

For every season cry cry cry!

When the problem arose regarding how children brought over the border illegally were being treated, tears emerged in horror of Trump’s position. The audience will not hear the other side of the story, because this is a “moral issue” to CNN. There is only one side to this story.

But what if we did what CNN anchors refuse to do and used our brains to think about the issue facing the children?

The media got their way. Due to an onslaught of bad press an executive order signed by Trump apparently made it illegal to separate children from their parents . However this is not good policy. It is already illegal to hold a child with the parents for 20 days. Therefore the government can’t hold the child separately, nor can they keep the child with the parents. This leaves one option, the government must release the entire family into the US. The executive order, unless it had qualified language in it, essentially gave a free-entry ticket to anyone caught crossing the border illegally – if they bring children.

What will happen to children on the other side of the border as a result of this policy will be many times worse than what the US Dept of HHS did to children. The media will not write articles or do human interest stories on the death, rape and heartless behavior that human smuggling spawns. They will certainly not discuss how this new policy will effect the savagery. It doesn’t fit the agenda.
