This photo was used as propaganda across the country for days as pundits and partisans engaged in various lies about what happened to this girl. It was all based on a lie. She was never separated from her Mom. Her Mom paid a trafficker.

Let this be a lesson to wait for facts.
Given the facts revealed, this @Time magazine cover should serve as a historical warning against emotional relativity in news and politics. This is a visual representation of the Fake News epidemic in our world. Stop the race to be first, race to be right. This has gone too far.
“A lie travels around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes”
- Jonathan Swift

A poignant quote to keep in mind when you’re reading or watching the news.
