Despite the claims of Border Patrol agents using "whips" on illegals was utterly debunked, ABC's World News Tonight was back at pushing them for the second night in a row. Reporter Kenneth Moton refused to mention the illegals who commandeered a bus or those who assaulted pilots.
It was the same thing on CBS Evening News. They ignored the response to the BP union (ABC scoffed) and the fact the agents were trying to control the crowd of illegal. Meanwhile, reporter Manuel Bojorquez suggested the agents were just trying to "intimidate" the crossers.
As with yesterday, NBC Nightly News and reporter Morgan Chesky was the odd man out. He ignored the false claims of whips and reported that some of those being deported grew violent. "A group assaulted three ICE agents and pilots," he said.
Now, let's compare ABC and CBS to Fox News Channel's Special Report where reporter Bill Melugin highlighted how a "revolt" on one of the transport buses led to an escape and a search. He also shot down the false claims of BP using "whips." "That is just blatantly false," he said.
Beating a dead horse: @ABCWorldNews and @CBSEveningNews continue peddling #FakeNews smear against mounted BP agents newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho…
