CLAIM
CNN & MSNBC Fail To Cover Assault on Law Enforcement

SOURCES
• CNN, MSNBC skip on-air coverage of July 4 armed attack on ICE agents at Texas facility

CLAIM
Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

KEY POINTS

CLAIM
Immigration raid at New York business left workers terrified and slowed production, co-owner says
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
CNN and other media outlets disparaged a court-authorized law enforcement operation that took place at a factory in New York, utilizing language like “scared” and “terrorized” to demonize law enforcement and victimize a business who had committed crimes.
THE TRUTH
The business had not taken basic steps to avoid employing illegal immigrants, such as registering for E-Verify. It had also previously received nearly $1 million in public funds, much of which was intended to be used by the company to employ Americans.CNN has a history of fearmongering. They very intentionally utilize quotes, descriptions, and imagery that paints law enforcement in a negative light in order to accumulate support for their anti-law enforcement narrative. It is despicable that a major news organization like CNN would maintain an antagonistic approach to law & order.
KEY POINTS
• CNN vilified legal law enforcement operations instead of a business that used American taxpayer funds to employ illegals.
SOURCES
• Immigration raid at New York business left workers terrified and slowed production, co-owner says
• Owners of Central NY factory raided by federal agents shocked: ‘We feel terrorized’
