Just between us, we get the idea from following PBS News’ Yamiche Alcindor on Twitter that she leans to the left just a bit. Sure, she reports the news, but then follows up with some subtle editorializing like, “Think about that.”
During the Republican National Convention Tuesday night, President Trump witnessed a naturalization ceremony:
Today, President @realDonaldTrump welcomed five of our newest AMERICAN CITIZENS as they took the Oath of Allegiance to the greatest Nation on Earth!
We are one, PROUD American Family! ?? pic.twitter.com/ycL7bZeT04

Here’s what you get for your tax dollars:
RNC is showing a naturalization ceremony conducted at the White House. Left unsaid:
-Trump has brought legal and illegal immigration to a near standstill.
-Trump separated hundreds of immigrant kids from their families.
-Trump continues push for the wall to keep immigrants out.— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) August 26, 2020

Yamiche, again using her job at a taxpayer-funded news outlet to vent her personal, political biases. https://t.co/yPvMV5kknr

Last year the NYT reported "Border at ‘Breaking Point’ as More Than 76,000 Unauthorized Migrants Cross in a Month" and legal immigration isn't much down from Obama see: https://t.co/Em49C4jqnt
Is that a "standstill"? It seems like Alcindor is spouting talking points, not facts. https://t.co/yF37Pk0VzV

A naturalization ceremony?! I mean wow. Democrats are trying to find a way to be outraged right now…

I'm waiting to hear "OMG! The cages!"
(Which happened under Obama) https://t.co/IwLTm6T099

I'll never understand how people think an illegal immigrant is the same thing as an immigrant. https://t.co/obQ39NzYEZ

Illegal immigration, yes. So do other countries. Former President Obama made the cages and separated families. Hollywood, Pelosi, the Pope have walls. We are not keeping immigrants out, as @realDonaldTrump as well as others have noted, come in legally, we welcome you! https://t.co/55KaepmAy2

She's literally running a Democrat defense campaign from her position as "journalist" https://t.co/RjQ2PpFotp
