Too much reporting on borders is propaganda

D.M. Bennett, Morgantown
As I listen to the news, all I hear is propaganda reporting. I ask myself, “What’s real or bogus?” I saw the picture of immigrants crossing the border coming into the United States. As I watched and listened to the reporters describing the conditions at the facilities of the housing for immigrant children, I became focused.
I asked myself, what’s wrong with these photos and recordings? Are the reporters making up this for financial gain or ratings? I would like to ask these reporters if they take their children to a day care. Do you know who’s caring for your children for eight hours or longer? Are you aware of what’s going on after you leave?

What I saw on TV, the children of immigrants were being taken care of. They were not being neglected. They had clean clothes, food, clean beds, air conditioning and people watching them. The only people reporters should blame are the children’s parents.
By the way, how many of these children may have been kidnapped and were being used as pawns to enter the U.S.? How many of the kids are better off being separated from the people who brought them through heat, no food or water and nowhere to sleep?
Reporters, tell the truth. Look at your own life. You are neglecting your children by placing them in day care? You have used propaganda all your life to promote a story. You make your own news up and shy from the truth.
You embellish everything to try and make yourself better than you are. All news networks are based on lies, just to sell a story. You may fool some people but I’m not buying what you’re trying to sell. It’s only propaganda.
