Monday and Tuesday's ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts had zero mentions of border agents' use of tear gas during the Obama administration, according to the Media Research Center.
Federal agents used tear gas on the U.S.-Mexico border dozens of times during the Obama administration, data from the Department of Homeland Security shows, despite outrage at the Trump administration from Democrats for using the substance against migrant caravan members over the weekend.
According to DHS data, during the Obama administration, tear gas was used on the border 26 times in 2012, 27 times in 2013, 15 times in 2014, eight times in 2015, and three times in 2016. That compares to 18 times in 2017 and 29 times in 2018 during the Trump administration.
Additionally, during the Obama administration, pepper spray was used 95 times in 2012, 151 times in 2013, 109 times in 2014, 30 times in 2015 and 56 times in 2016, the data shows. Pepper spray was used 56 times in 2017 and 43 times in 2018 during the Trump administration.

It’s like homelessness - it only exists during Republican administrations.
Why should we be surprised over what the 0bama media does?
Our alphabet media are pure propaganda outlets, serving their corporate masters who are serving the deep state.
Treat them no differently than you would Russian RT, TASS or China People’s Daily for information. They will have a lot of true information, but a lot of untrue information as well. The key is the narrative they are promoting.
Such news might’ve made blind followers of ‘dear leader lord Obama’ cry so the news was suppressed for their own welfare.
“That was then, this is NOW!” which translates without need of any interpretation to “That was Obama (our god), this is Trump (Satan/Hitler incarnate)!”
Well which is it? Did he give open access to our borders or did he allows the use of tear gas dozens and dozens of times a year?
Or was it without his permission?
That adds to 79 times Obama used tear gas at the border.
And 441 times Obama used pepper spray at the border.
More than 500 times in all.

1946
“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”
“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”
“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”
“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”
Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff
Obozo didn’t know that until he read it on FreeRepublic.
The problem isn’t the gas or who used it. It’s the people who used the kids as human shields. Trump should be pounding the table, demanding that they be prosecuted for child endangerment.
