1. The “controversy” over the iconic photo of a crying girl is a perfect example of how the modern right-wing works
2. The “fake news media” largely had the story right from the beginning, with CNN, WashPost and others reporting that the girl was not separated from her mother
3. TIME then put the girl on the cover and photoshopped in a photo of Trump, looking down on her. Their story got some details about her treatment wrong
4. What is the importance of all this?
NOTHING
Thousand of children were and are separated from their parents
The right is seizing on the photo in order to paint the entire issue as “fake news”
This is shameful
