Of course not.
The state assumes all responsibility
The investigation will tell
But the fact a death of a minor occurred while under government custody is certainly worthy of attention
Ah, so you assume the news report is lying.
A fair assumption usually, but a bit odd that they would lie to make the agency look *better*.
The news report clearly states an investigation will be forthcoming
I assume minors die regularly under government custody.
It is not, unless unusual, worthy of any great attention.
Right now the border debate is a topic of general discussion, stimulated by the acts and words of the President of the United States. The President has deemed it newsworthy from his bully pulpit and the news media fall in line.
In order to try and make him look bad, yes.
It was the president that deemed this news
You cannot possibly argue that this story appears with any semblance of objectivity.
No, we the people of the country deemed it news when we decided to make it a major policy issue for national elections.
It is an objective fact, assuming they didn't make up the death
Records will prove whether it is, indeed, a fact. News exists to report facts.
And they lie by implication.
Just like the reportings of Kavanaugh left the rabble believing he was a rapist without the news ever having to say it point blank.
If we the people deemed in such, then even moreso this is news when a minor dies in custody of border patrol
They are greasy scoundrels and you disappoint me by coming to their defense.
I am not defending them, I am simply stating that reporting facts is actually their basic purpose.
Oh, and I'm not going to be baited. :p
And by cottonpicking and focusing on what they choose, they showcase deliberate bias and ideological drives.
Oh, please. I do not bait.
I merely point out the flaws I see in how people operate.
I will agree with you that they failed to report as extensively as they should have the distress of the people of Tijuana over the migrants. The Mayor of Tijuana is newsworthy.
They buried it on page 8
Then why defend them when you agree with the fact of their cankerous nature?
They are hypocritical, lying scum and deserve no respect or support.
Because I will applaud when they do their jobs and criticise when they do not. I'm a mother. You can't just discipline and expect correct behavior. You must praise as well.
Especially from those who would try and stand for anything good and noble, like I assume you do.
Then do not applaud their continued poor behavior.
Exercise better judgement, or you become part of their disease.
I believe an improved border barrier is necessary. I'm not convinced a solid concrete edifice is the best solution to the problem, but I agree there is a problem. Borders exists for a reason and must be made credible.
Illegal migration is a problem and must be stopped.
What a laudable and irrelevant statement to the topic at hand.
I'm simply saying that I am not biased such that I want only once side of the debate to be public
And yes, you were baiting me but that truly is beside the point. :p
That another child has died in custody is news. The results of the investigation is also worthy news.
How to interpret that news is the public discourse and we all should have a voice to participate in that. At least if you're a US citizen.
