The enemy of America is the American media-----The Real Crisis Is the Media's Disregard for Facts and Truth | Newsbusters

The Real Crisis Is the Media's Disregard for Facts and Truth | Newsbusters
"Two different topics, but the same problem: 
1. There is no crisis at the border. 
2. And “authorities say (Ma’Khia Bryant) was wielding a knife.”
  • Thus reported, successively, Politico and NBC News produced two vivid examples of exactly why millions of Americans no longer trust the mainstream liberal media.
The first example comes from Politico, caught in the act by The Washington Examiner with this headlined story: "Politico forbids 'crisis' when describing border surge, despite Biden's own use."
The Examiner’s story began this way:
“Don't call it a ‘crisis.’
Politico is the latest news outlet to order its staff not to use the word ‘crisis’ when reporting on the massive influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border..

Meanwhile, over there at NBC, the thwarted stabbing rampage by teenager Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio was, shall we say, straight out of make-it-up land. NewsBusters’ own Nicholas Fondacaro caught the Peacock network dead to rights -- er -- dead to wrongs -- as it played make-it-up with the story. 
Nicholas’s quite accurate headline: "NBC Deceptively Edits 911 Call, Casts Doubt on Cop’s Need to Protect a Life."
He reported -- accurately -- this:
“On the same day former police offer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Columbus, Ohio officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black teen, Ma’khia Bryant. 
Though the left would like to conflate the two incidents, the latter commanded a huge difference: the teen was about to plunge a knife into another girl. 
But NBC Nightly News didn’t want to clearly show that part of the body camera footage on Wednesday, and they deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out witness accounts of an attempted stabbing.”
Nicholas compared the NBC report to those of ABC and CBS, noting this oh-so-curious NBC “reporting.”
“And whenever the subject of Bryant wielding a knife was broached, it was framed (by NBC) as something that was purported by police. 
‘Just before yesterday's verdict a police officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black girl in Columbus, Ohio, saying she was threatening others with a knife,’ announced anchor Lester Holt.”
Mind you, the video of this incident was everywhere...Read all.
