We don't often turn to cable news for quality or even honest reporting when it comes to major issues of the day. To the chagrin of establishment media consultants, we usually find that independent or even 'citizen' journalists provide much better information and don't try to spin it for a political agenda . But, as always, there are exceptions to every rule.
And when it comes to the disaster at the United States southern border, that exception is Bill Melugin of Fox News. For years, Melugin has been providing factual reporting about the border crisis, no matter how much Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has tried to assure us that everything is just hunky-dory down at Eagle Pass, Texas, and other border towns. Melugin has a super-secret journalism trick that enables him to report so much better than anyone else on cable news.
Do you want to hear it? He actually GOES to and reports FROM the border. Crazy, right? Someone should tell Vice President Kamala Harris. Melugin is proud of the work he has done and with good reason.
So, yesterday, when another 'border reporter,' NPR's Pablo De La Rosa, accused him of racist propaganda, Melugin pulled out a tactical nuclear tweet and ENDED De La Rosa in no uncertain terms. It started with De La Rosa playing the racism game with Melugin on Saturday: The entire foundation of this man’s anti-immigrant propaganda is keeping a straight face as he ignores every immigration law expert in the country and in the world—crossing an.
