Two major cable TV news channels cut away from President Trump’s event Friday with families of people killed by illegal immigrants, switching to coverage of illegal immigrant families complaining about treatment at the border.

CNN and MSNBC pivoted to the family separation issue even as parents on stage with Mr. Trump said their plight was ignored by the news media.

“The mainstream media does not let you know what is really happening,” said Mary Ann Mendoza, who lost her son, Mesa, Arizona, Police Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, in 2014 following a vehicular accident with an illegal alien allegedly driving drunk at three times the legal limit.

When CNN cut away from the event, the network’s midday host Brooke Baldwin questioned why the parents were complaining about the news media’s lack of interest in their stories.

CNN then went to a live shot from outside a Texas detention facility for illegal immigrant children.

The chyron read: “Thousands of kids in limbo as Trump’s order sparks confusion.”

Absolutely disgusting. And sadly predictable.

There's a special place in hell for those who run CNN and MSNBC...

What a surprise.

Dems(and the media) only care about illegals.

They don’t give a damn about American citizens.

hmmmm. what is the “corporate globalist narrative”?

ILLEGAL immigrants good, legal immigrants and natural born US citizens bad.

What did you expect from the Communist News Network and the Marxist Shit Nothing But Crap network? Honest, balanced coverage?

You’ll get better coverage in a grave than from these two anti-American, unethical, intellectually corrupt air-wave and mind polluters.

One of the jobs Americans won’t do is driving drunk at three times the speed limit. Twice the speed limit, sure. But for three times, you need catch and release.
