As Twitchy readers know, plenty of Democrats and Lefties were calling for Abbott to be held accountable for a migrant mom and her two children who drowned at the southern border because Texas 'physically barred' border patrol from saving them. As our readers also know, this was not true.
At all.
Drew Holden was good enough to take CBS (and by default, any moronic Lefty/Dem pushing this story) apart in one of his tried and true threads:
CBS rushed out a scoop that migrants had drowned at the border because Texas had “physically barred” border patrol from saving them.

The problem? It wasn’t true, as Biden’s justice department even acknowledges. The headline has been updated with an editor’s note. pic.twitter.com/Iin09KfsDj
It wasn't true.
Even Biden's DOJ acknowledges this.
It’s journalistic malpractice to just parrot baseless claims by an administration you like as gospel truth.

Why wasn’t there any due diligence? Where was the basic fact checking @CBSNews?
Can’t you see how considerable the walk back is here?
Due diligence? Basic fact-checking.
Drew. Silly man, this is the mainstream media we're talking about ... they are simply ABOVE these things.
What’s happening at the border — driven by Biden’s inhumane open borders policy — is a tragedy.

The media lying about it doesn’t help anyone, or the broader situation.
The media doesn't want Biden held accountable for the mess he's intentionally made of the southern border.
We said what we said.
Tweet is still up though. https://t.co/chxJ9ZHAuU

Because of course it is.
This is only going to get worse as the election approaches

Especially with Trump as the leading GOP. We're going to see media get nastier and even more obnoxious which we wouldn't have thought possible.
As is always the case, the initial claim traveled much further than the since corrected and far less scandalous claim.
