You know you're a walking dead journalist when
- U write in ways that imply Obama's ripping children from their moms was somehow more caring than Trump's policy.
-U delete Central American experts & replace them with Obama operatives who tell you how differently their policies

separated refugeee children from moms, jailed kids & deported millions.
- U report Trump's abuses as some sort of Deux ex machina coming down Nazi-like out of nowhere to ruin the goog ole immigration days under Obama.
-U jaw locks when the temptation to say "Obama laid the policy

and practice foundtn for Trump" hits u.
-U self censor,thinking your staunch liberal Democrat editor wld never let u write,"The most recent & important precedent 4 Trump's policy of separatng refugee kids fr their mothers is th Obama Administration's practice of separating 1000s.

-U ignore the record of 100s, maybe 1000s pushed to their truly horrific deaths in the desert by Obama's continuing the enforcement policies & militarization of the border advanced by Bush.
-U forget to report that Obama used tear gas against refugees and migrants dozens of times

-U write, report, record and film in a way that condemns Trump for the very same Obama practices & policies he continues & expands just as Obama put Bush II policies on steroids.
& lastly
-U haven't a clue or can't admit that u, your reporting,have enabled & normalized catasrophe
