The lines are blurred with all media. Folks have a hard time discerning hard news from 'entertainment news' shows.

We really have to dig through it all to just get the facts. Good thing..with things like speeches and quotes -- we are seeing more and more live as it happens. For example, with Trump everything is in context. We don't have to rely on what the news says is the context.

It's nonsense beyond belief.
How is this different than equating 2 rapists with all illegals?

THE FACT REMAINS:

If those illegal aliens had NOT been in the US, that rape would NOT have happened.
If American born rapists have NOT been born, then all those rape cases would NOT have happened.

But, but, but they are not biased!

I have been saying for years, It is NOT just what they report BUT, what they DON'T report.

I know narrative-based selective reporting has become the norm for more or less EVERYONE.
"it's not "news" for one network to wag fingers at other networks in my opinion."

If the other networks do it, and they DO do it all the time, is is fair game to point things out.

Besides, O'Reilly is NOT a "NEWS" program.

There is a BIG difference.

SILENT that's where they are. Why are the SILENT?

There are several different issues at play here, from the fact that the rape happened at all to why ADULTS were in classes with KIDS to these freakin' monsters shouldn't have been here to begin with. Fixing either of the latter would have prevented the former from ever happening to begin with.

So, do we rail about the result (rape) or, what caused the issue in the first place that was wholly preventable were it not for progressive "let 'em all in, open borders" policies?
"from the fact that the rape happened at all to why ADULTS were in classes with KIDS"

AND they are BOTH ILLEGALS" and shouldn't have been here to begin with.

Hell, they SHOULDN'T have been in the country to begin with.

So the poorly rushed illegal immigration push from the democrat former president inexcusably sponsored these thugs into the U.S. The school district put these 18 year men into freshman classes. How wrong on so many levels is this flawed illegal immigration "plan"?.

Hope the family sues the school district for millions and the nation corrects this flawed immigration policy. Totally incompetency.
well apparently you can't read...

One was 17 and the other was 18...in some schools, you can be in high school until 21..meanwhile, while you are throwing your little fit about this...this white woman raped a 17 yr old...

What does that have to do with illegal aliens committing crimes in this country when they shouldn't even be here at all? Nothing. Why add more criminals and crimes by tolerating their illegal presence in the US? It's completely senseless and completely unnecessary.

Is t true?

I really do want to know.

Is this a national story or a local story? Did any of the news affiliates in Maryland cover this?


And as an aside, have people in Texas heard about the white man who came to New York City to kill black people? Shouldn't this be national news as well and has it been picked up by national stations?
