If you’ve been paying attention, you may have noticed some super-subtle changes in the media’s coverage of the border crisis.
“When there's … 12,000 Black people under a bridge at the border and our government responds with men on horseback and whips … this is beyond troubling,” Rep. Andy Levin says about images that appear to show Border Patrol agents confronting Haitian refugees at the US border. pic.twitter.com/kwgb4wIC74

This white-Border-Patrol-agents-on-horseback-whipping-Haitian-refugees thing seems to have been just the story to whip up the media’s interest in what’s been happening for months at the southern border.

Twitchy frequent flyer Stephen L. Miller, aka @redsteeze, can’t help but marvel at the media’s evolution on this particular issue.
I'm still in awe12,000 people were kept in squalor conditions, sitting in their own shit, in makeshift tents, in 100 degree heat for 4 days and our media completely ignored it, until they could use one photo to scream "how inhumane" at the top fo their blue check lungs. Frauds. https://t.co/CDmCEzFvXo

They didn't care about these people, sitting for 4 days in these conditions, until they could use it somehow to make a point about border agents. The malfeasance is astounding. It's shameless, and they know what they are doing.

Yet, amazingly, they don’t seem to realize that we also know what they’re doing.
And now the Biden admin jumps in – "yes, who could have allowed such inhumane treatment to happen? Who did this?" screamed Jack Dundee as Reno Hightower finds the tiger head inside the duffel bag.

The Biden administration’s outrage is just about as genuine as the media’s.
The Biden administration will definitely get to the bottom of who allowed border agents to try and contain 12,000 people flooding the Del Rio underpass in Texas. Some random border agent on a horse will be fired and no one is accountable for the Sword Bomb afghan civilian strike

In all likelihood, that’s how this will go, yes. And the media will do their damnedest to make sure of it.
The media didn't care. They sent 200 reporters to DC to cover FBICon 2021 and not a single one to the Del Rio Texas, but they all now care because "That guy has a whip" or something. Just incredible corruption and incompetence.
