These leftist headlines get on the Breaking News Sidebar and other sidebars, and on the face, nobody knows who it’s from. You have to drill down. And MANY folks simply don’t have time to drill down on every sidebar headline. To that extent, FR is unwittingly promoting a Leftist agenda IMO.

Well, that’s the way I want it. We quote the exact lying headline and the exact lying text as published. But we do allow a parenthetical comment in the headline when there is room, ie, a barf alert, etc.

The type of articles that you want to read are very few and far between. While it may be frustrating to repeatedly read headlines and see photos that misdirect the public, it is what the media has become. If those articles were not posted to comment upon, then we would be left with Breitbart news and a few blogs. I challenge you to list the truthful news sources that are suitable to post that would exclude the dissemination of lies.......

From the earlier article there is much to be learned. This particular wapo writer has interviewed the chief of immigration and relayed stats from INS records as well as the native interviews. Miroff’s reporting and the material he presented therein is not ‘all lies.’ While you may not agree or reach other conclusions, that doesn’t make it false.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/faced-with-migration-crisis-us-border-chief-finds-no-easy-fix-in-central-america/2018/09/30/b3cad7d4-c327-11e8-b338-a3289f6cb742_story.html

“In August, 12,774 migrant family members were taken into custody along the Mexico border, a 38% jump from the previous month, and agents say September’s numbers appear to be headed even higher.”

“Guatemalans send home nearly $9 billion a year in remittances, according to the latest government data, twice as much as they did a decade ago.”

” The US deported 333 underage Guatemalan migrants between January and August. Mexico,... deported 7,910 during that same period.”

“The US sent back 524 children and teens to the three Northern Triangle countries combined between January and August, while Mexico deported 14,499.”

“only 1.4 percent of the family members who entered the US illegally during 2017 have been returned to their home countries. The vast majority remain waiting for their asylum cases to be adjudicated, but an immigration court backlog of nearly 750,000 cases means it may be years before they appear before a judge.”

“an especially large increase in the number of adult men arriving with children, from 7,896 in the government’s 2016 fiscal year to 16,667 this year. Homeland Security officials have also documented a threefold increase in fraud cases of migrants claiming to be the parents of children who are not their own.”

Many of the others who left simply became bloggers.

Well, they say you can't really change until you hit rock bottom...

That's a new one on me. The media continues to use "migrants" exclusively, like this is the Joad family headed for California.

The implicit attitude is that anyone and everyone from Central America or Mexico has some kind of birthright to be in the US. If a line of BS is repeated often enough, people start believing it.

Sometimes it gives me agita to read the lies, but I found it gives me a good picture of what the Left is doing.

So, I absolutely AGREE that you, Jim Robinson, have the very best.

I used to go to Lucianne, but since my eyeballs can’t take the dancing Ads, I have not been there for months.

Stay true, dear Jim.

Understood and to an extent I agree. But the Sidebar thing is a real problem IMO because you don't see the source and thus can have trouble telling whether it is a reliable headline or a lie.

Why not try this if you and John can:

Install a new sidebar titled "BREAKING LIES".

Code the articles so
- the reasonably reliable sources like Fox, etc. go into "BREAKING NEWS" and
- the Lying Leftist crap goes into "BREAKING LIES".

That would be FANTASTIC IMO. It would alert the viewers as to what they're seeing on the sidebar and would sharpen FR's attack on the Left.

BTW, here's my list (not exhaustive) of the Lying Leftist sources:

CNN (Counterfeit News Network) – 1st Place in Trump's 2017 First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media with FOUR entries in the top ten

NYT (Not Yielding to Truth) – 2nd Place in Trump's 2017 First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Second Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media with TWO entries in the top ten

ABC (All Bull & Counterfeit; Always Bogus & Counterfeit) – Dishonored in Trump's 2017 Top Ten First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Among the Top Ten Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media

Time (Outtatime) - Dishonored in Trump's 2017 Top Ten First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media

WaPo (A Whale of Poo) - Dishonored in Trump's 2017 Top Ten First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Among the Top Ten Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media

CBS = Complete Bull Sh#t

NBC = Nothing But Counterfeit; Nothing But Crap

CNBC = Counterfeit News & Bull Crap

MSNBC = Mostly Stupid & Nothing But Counterfeit; Mostly Sh#t & Nothing But Crap

AP = All Propaganda

NPR = Nothing but Propaganda Releases

PBS = Pure Bull Sh#t

MSN.com = Mostly Sh** News.com

Yahoo.com = Yellow-bellied Airheads Hotair On Overdose.com

The Hill,

Politico,

BuzzFeed,

the Daily Mail,

Ironic, because one of the Joads bashed somebody’s head in in the book.
