I just saw Mayor of Escondido,CA Sam Abed discussing how wrong the CA sanctuary city law was and he described himself as a "LEGAL" immigrant who came with his mother 30 years ago and became an American citizen and is now mayor.
Folks... do you understand how the extremely biased MSM has fractured our country with regards to so many issues and "Legal" immigrants is one of them.
Mayor Abed is as angry about being lumped by the MSM as "anti-immigrant" as the rest of us 90+ million Americans that are either relatives or are "legal" immigrants by calling us "racists"! Xenophobes!
Does the MSM not comprehend by leaving out that simple adjective "ILLEGAL" they have fostered this division?
Of course they do! What better way to get viewers/readers which means ratings which means revenue!
I'm not advocating stifling the "press"...i.e. doing away with the First amendment.
I'm advocating what more and more Americans are realizing that the MSM is presenting NOT FAKE NEWS but the MSM presents BIASED headlines/30 second sound bites. These biased headlines/sound bites get the attention. Today more skeptical Americans are reading/watching the REST of the story and confirming what the skeptical Americans now believe...i.e. the MSM is biased as to how they present the news.
The AP cites a Pew Research Center report that two-thirds of Americans believe “fabricated news” is causing a “great deal of confusion” about basic facts, and a poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago found the percentage of Americans expressing a “great deal of confidence” in the press has fallen from 28 percent in 1976 to just 8 percent in 2016.
The Media Still Can't Figure Out Why They're Losing Credibility
So to those of you that still believe the MSM...consider Mayor Abed's story.
He like 90+ million other Americans who are relatives of or are "LEGAL" immigrants are angry at being labeled "Anti-immigrant"!
And this again is the MSM's fault.
Here is a Google Search on "Trump anti-immigrant" and the results:
Look at these 59,700 headlines:
NYT: "Trump's Anti-Immigrant Racism"
Newyorker:"Trump's Anti-Immigrant Fervor"
MSNBC: "Trump's anti-immigrant fear-mongering"
How many people know Trump married a legal immigrant?
How many people know that 90+ million Americans like me have relatives or ARE "LEGAL immigrants" and
really find the MSM offending us by calling US racists, xenophobic, etc.?
Now is it ANY wonder the country is fractured when people read headlines like the below?
And fewer people are believing the MSM headlines that 90+ million people like me with a "legal immigrant" relative, Mayor Abed, President Trump and LEGAL immigrants are "racists", xenophobic, etc.
We are far from "ANTI-immigrant! Our country is founded NOT on people that snuck in, use resources and
hate America but people like my relatives that GAVE up their homeland citizenship! Studied American history.
Became legal citizens.
We don't hate IMMIGRANTS!
