Press bias
Here’s a terrible headline:”Immigrant deaths in Arizona desert soaring in July”
The only way that’s going to be interpreted is in light of the dominant Arizona story now, the state law fighting back against illegal immigration.
But you read the story and it clearly establishes that the issues is along the entire border, not Arizona, and that in fact deaths are DOWN historically. They have one guy pulling out a tiny subset and saying, in effect, “Boy, if this continues, it’ll be HUGE.”
But that’s obviously stupid manipulation of data. Just as the headline is a stupid manipulation of narrative.
The real story is, why hasn’t AP been reporting that 500 people a year die sneaking across the border?
