Mainstream Media Fuels ICE Hoaxes

I'm disgusted by the media outlets pushing lies and deception. The workers at these places no doubt graduated from universities that taught them a leftist agenda and instilled this way way of being activist-journalists, rather than instilling integrity.

Their twisted efforts do sway people's beliefs; I know that personally because I fell for the left's lies through the news media and Facebook for a very long time in the past.

I pray these deceptive media outlets eventually lose all viewers/listeners and the worst liars actually face consequences.

To answer the question, the worst to me are the outlets that twist stories to cover for child rapists. And the runner-up would be those that ran with that fake kidnapping story. You know that millions believed that fake story, and they won't hear or believe a tiny little correction later (if ever corrected by those media outlets.)

The faked kidnapping is a top five: Totally a LIE, but worse, parroted by a Corrupt Mayor! What's Really alarming is the number of people who Believe these LIES!

Of course, there will be attacks on ICE workers, because the public has been alerted by false stories by the media, which has almost always followed an anti-Trump narrative. The major media, especially should clean up their houses and report the 'real' news, without prejudice. Use what they learned in their college courses in writing and let the 'Letters to the Editor' express personal attitudes, as has been the rule decades ago. It ain't that difficult. Even I was able to impart to Chinese college students in their English classes in China how to interview the 'man on the street' and follow up with a news article, using the who, what, when, where, why and sometimes how method. My students 'got it'! Why can't our media??

Calling these DEMOcrat fabrications "hoaxes" is a travesty. A LIE is A LIE. Let's not soften the language. And attacks against a Federal Agency legally carrying out their assigned tasks is A CRIME.

We can't live in a country where the MSM is allowed to tell outright lies to the masses and hide behind Freedom of Speech, doesn't work that way. Somewhere along the way, especially since the turn of the century, they lost their way at an unprecedented level and simply became a Leftist propaganda tool. People have long faced repercussion throughout history for telling lies so why would that not apply to the MSM here and now?? It's time we held them to the fire for their egregious fake stories they tell to push a narrative. It's time networks were literally shut down and from management all the way to the their blog "reporters" to get held accountable for actively telling lies to the public and pushing divisional conspiracies. There is no place in a 1st World Country, most especially the U.S., for this to be going on. This is just one category where extreme accountability/repercussions needs to reign down on the evildoers within our country. Priority One, or nothing else matters.

Unsure...? I stopped following "mainstream media" in the 1990's, b/c it's so obviously devious I don't waste my time. WH Press conferences, PragerU, Upward News, Breibart, etc is where it's at. Here's an exercise: Watch CNN, MSNBC, etc on mute. Look at the body language.....are you disgusted? You should be. Never mind their Words, look at the body language, then ask yourself if it's worth your time.....??????

ICE simply enforces the law and don't deserve the treatment doled out by democrats and mainstream media

Yes, the left believes the spin

The Russia collusion hoax—absolutely the worst. A total disgrace. Three years of lies, fake investigations, millions of taxpayer dollars wasted, all to try and take down your favorite president. And yes, all these hoaxes, all the fake news, they weaken our institutions. They make it harder for ICE, for law enforcement, to do their jobs. When the media and the left push lies, they create distrust—and that hurts national security, plain and simple.

Of the hoax perpetrators listed in the article, "Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass", is by far the biggest Hoax Perpetrator. Her fellow California state comrade, Governor Gavin Newsom, is right with her.

The question was: ( Which hoax do you think was the worst? And do you think these hoaxes will hinder ICE operations? ) In the first place calling deceptive propaganda a hoax is being too kind to the perp's publishing such deceptions. And as for the second half of the question, namely: ( Do I think this anti-truth garbage will hinder ICE operations ? ) These deceptions already are hindering operations ! There is no doubt at all that things will only get worse if people don't wake up to see the deceptions for what they are, and or if the propaganda outlets spewing such deceptions don't stop doing so !

I wonder if there could be a scoring system whereby, if a story is rushed to press without having checked the facts, the FCC records a demerit. Then, if enough demerits are “earned”, there is a penalty of some sort. Something with enough teeth to dissuade the abuse of the truth.

All those hoaxes are egregious, but the one that comes to mind is the fake kidnapping. The fact that the mayor lied about her being dragged from a car makes it worse. She was either part of the hoax or failed to verify the kidnapping. And yes, these protests pose a clear and present danger to ICE agents.

It's sad that genuine journalism is mostly a thing of the past and that consumers of the news have to check and double check the accuracy of what they read or hear. Who has the time for that? And then the lies are passed on and the corrections, when provided, don't make it to the people that heard the lie. Sigh. How do we get back to the news being the news and not propaganda?

I am increasingly frustrated by the way the media attempts to stage ICE as an organization of heartless crooks attempting to arrest and deport "innocent migrants." What they don't say is that ICE is actually deporting criminals who have crossed our border illegally. This misrepresentation is actually helping ICE in some ways by scaring illegal immigrants into self deporting. However, it is still disturbing and extremely maddening.

All of the hoaxes are equally bad. However it should not hamper ICE from doing their job regardless of the lies the MSM yellow journalism concocts.

I don’t believe this will stop ICE from doing their job. We finally have a president who supports them and leadership that’s willing to lead as true public servants, not puppets of the executive or legislative branches. This is just another weak attempt from the left to stall operations and cling to relevance. The truth is, they haven’t been relevant for decades, which is why they resort to cheating in every election and every opportunity they get to defeat conservative patriots. The party of slavery is finished—they just haven’t figured it out yet

Prosecute, prosecute, prosecute. I don't know which libel law media are prosecutable under, however this cannot continue.

It is totally crazy how many people still watch lying media. Yes, local news is good but to get real facts, need to watch a few national news IE CBS reports negative totally bias news against President Trump, NBC just reports the news, no snarky comments. That should be the giveaway on CBS!!
