When the villain is Obama, not Trump, news suddenly becomes not worth reporting

So the United States has “the world’s highest rate of children in detention.” Is this worth reporting? Maybe, maybe not. Nevertheless, Agence France-Presse, or AFP, and Reuters did report it, attributing the information to a “United Nations study” on migrant children detained at the US-Mexico border.

Then the two agencies retracted the story. Deleted, withdrew, demolished. If they could have used one of those Men in Black memory-zappers on us, they would have. Sheepishly, the two news organizations explained that, you see, the UN data was from 2015 — part of a border crackdown that had begun years earlier.

We all know who the president was in 2015. It wasn’t evil, child-caging monster President Trump. It was that nice, compassionate, child-caging monster President Barack Obama.

Apparently the News Media think that we are too stupid to notice that they are selective and biased.

You would think that their reputation as an unbiased objective news source would be important to them.

Maybe it is because they are so caught up in themselves and their closed circles that they never venture outside.

That's the worst part of the News oligarchy. It's not just what they report, it's what they don't.

You are ruled by the people you are not permitted to criticize!

Seems to me that I remember multiple critical pieces on Bush ‘43 for years and years after his departure from the Presidency.

The modern press has betrayed their profession.

It ALL started with Obama and it’s simple to connect the dots but nobody seems to give a sh*t.
