The thing that some of us have known for a decade now is that "MIS"information like facts in Politics for a much longer time is highly subjective to your belief system. Anybody with any sense of rationality or a sliver of intelligence to as we once used to say, "read between the Lines," can see the crazy before getting past the first paragraph or opening statement of those that spew it.
Our media has been a misinformation hub for the government for 60+ years. Laws enacted under Clinton, Bush, and then really hard under Obama shifted Media laws to push our media from, "just the facts," to meh... "my feels tell me this is how you should think too." This is the one bipartisan thing our country truly believes in.
60+ years for sure. W. T. Sherman wrote in the Preface to his Personal Memoirs that even three honest witnesses to a simple barroom fight will not agree on what happened (his point was that reporting on a Civil War battle is going to be selective, misguided, outright deceptive, etc.) More and more people are learning to "read between the lines," be it because of COVID lies, Hunter's laptop lies, "peaceful protest" lies, XX or XY chromosomes being a fact of life, or what have you.
The Trump Admin engaged in a sleazy bit of propaganda earlier this week, when Leavitt started a press conference by speaking about Garcia (the illegal alien deported to El Salvador), then handed the podium over to the mother of a woman who had been raped and murdered by OTHER gang members. It was total emotional manipulation, meant to conflate the two in the minds of viewers.
Yes, and it's terrible. But that has nothing to do with a different man who is accused, not convicted, not tried, of being a gang member. Putting her up there is like saying "other men who kind of maybe look like this man did a terrible thing, therefore this man does not deserve due process."
The emotional manipulation is wrong and impedes due process.
For what it's worth, I'm leaning toward the fact that Garcia was, in fact, a member of MS 13, based on all the research I've done. But this was a sleazy tactic.

Many, but not nearly enough.
The midterms should give us an idea.
The midterms are nearly as fraught as the last general. IMHO. We have far too many all-or-nothings and single issuers in our mix.
It's a great time to be alive!
You’re right, this has gone on since I can remember. And, in order to “read between the lines,” a person has to actually read first.
If public monies funded local government instead of the feds, people might be more involved in how their lives are ruled.
It's honestly harder to even find real information to even just blur the lines anymore.
Yes!

Wasn't her daughter killed by MS 13 ?
Yes, and it's terrible. But that has nothing to do with a different man who is accused, not convicted, not tried, of being a gang member. Putting her up there is like saying "other men who kind of maybe look like this man did a terrible thing, therefore this man does not deserve due process."

Stop wasting time on this case. Takes resources away from all the other criminals who have taken advantage of our open borders.
I do not agree.
Yes, but was Garcia involved?
It was propaganda.
What do you think happens to a person who tattoos MS-13 gang insignias on their body if they aren't in MS-13 ?
Irrelevant; it was still propaganda.
For what it's worth, I'm leaning toward the fact that Garcia was, in fact, a member of MS 13, based on all the research I've done. But this was a sleazy tactic.
Let's see, you admit he was an illegal, correct?
You admit that he's a member of A FTO, correct?
Right? That was grotesque.
Typical propaganda strategy.
Same as it ever was…
