* Multiple outlets deleted entire stories Tuesday after reporting out a false number of children currently in migrant-related U.S. custody.

* The number is actually from 2015, when former President Barack Obama was in office.

* Some of the outlets issued corrections and updated the articles, while others such as Reuters and AFP deleted the article in its entirety and declined to post a new one.

Multiple outlets deleted entire stories Tuesday after falsely reporting the number of children in migrant-related U.S. custody.

Outlets including Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP), NPR and Aljazeera jumped on a report from the United Nations, writing Monday that the country has the world’s highest rate of detained children. The outlets reported that there are currently more than 100,000 children in immigration-related custody, which violates international law.

A day later, Reuters and AFP deleted their stories after the U.N. clarified the numbers were from 2015, when former President Barack Obama was in office. AFP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why it no longer felt the numbers were newsworthy after being informed they were from 2015.

The fifth-column leftist media continue to give aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.

GENEVA (Reuters) - A Nov. 18 story headlined “U.S. has world’s highest rate of children in detention -U.N. study” is withdrawn. The United Nations issued a statement on Nov. 19 saying the number was not current but was for the year 2015. No replacement story will be issued.

“The photos, taken by The Associated Press, were from 2014, during the Obama administration, but were presented by liberal activists as if they showed the effects of Trump’s immigration policy now.”

They liked the fake news with negative statistics about children but they won’t publish the truth.

Reuters, Al Jazeera, NPR and AFP, four of the most anti-American news services in the world.

What else would you expect from the French Marxists, American Marxists, Jihadist news service, and the British Marxist Reuters?

Once you understand who these players are, then it is easier to learn how to “read” their anti-American “hate” fake news.
