As we told you earlier today, the New York Times was among media outlets serving up a Trump quote in which he referred to members of MS-13 as “animals” out of context to exclude the MS-13 part and instead make it sound as if the president was referring to everybody in the country illegally:

The Times’ tweet, which failed to mention Trump was referring specifically to MS-13, worked as designed, as evidenced by Alyssa Milano’s deep concern:
There are no words to express how I feel about this.

MS-13 is now all “unauthorized immigrants” thanks in part to the New York Times, and their readers who don’t care to know the full context.

He was referring to MS-13, a criminal gang.

But it’s a “look” Milano (and some “journalists”) don’t mind proudly wearing.
