Must-read thread: Kyle Becker shreds TIME and the rest of the US media over manipulation campaign

As Twitchy reported, CNN’s Chris Cillizza is in awe of TIME magazine’s “powerful” cover that the magazine stands by even though its implied premise — the crying little girl was separated from her family thanks to Trump — was debunked by her father and the border patrol.

But hey, it was a heart-tugging image, just like the one of kids in cages that went viral and enflamed national outrage — even though the photo was taken in 2014 under the Obama administration.

Kyle Becker, writer and producer at LifeZette, has posted a lengthy but comprehensive thread that we think sums up this week’s hysteria over illegal immigration and family separation. Have a look:
