You'd think some lessons would be learned after the umpteenth time the press ran with another "ICE is cruelly detaining innocent people" story, only to have the facts blow them out of the water. But that would assume those stories are being written to inform and not build a false narrative, and we all know it's the latter.
Sure enough, that happened again on Wednesday when NBC Washington reporter Aimee Cho rushed to social media to post a video of an illegal immigrant being detained on the National Mall. She says he tried to escape before being tackled to the ground, at which point he began shouting (in Spanish, of course), "Please, I'm not a criminal. I work here. I want to be with my family."
Cho knew what she was doing when she posted that video without first getting confirmation from ICE on who it was they were detaining. The entire point was to paint the man in a sympathetic light while villainizing immigration authorities. That worked exactly as planned, and the usual suspects quickly chimed in, including Fox News' Jessica Tarlov, who plays the Democrat foil on "The Five."
As it turns out, the supposed family man wasn't what he claimed to be, nor was he what various "journalists" conveniently assumed he was for obvious political reasons.
