NPR axes ‘inflammatory’ picture of migrant caravan after complaint from liberal activist

A liberal immigration activist forced to change a photograph on a article because it had an “inflammatory” of a migrant caravan.

Attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the objected to the use of a photograph of a migrant caravan on one of NPR’s articles on Thursday.

“And it begins—NPR uses an inflammatory picture of a caravan that was broken up days ago for a story about a deportation moratorium that only applies to those here months ago and a policy reversal that wouldn’t have affected almost all of the caravan even if they had made it here,” he tweeted. Editors who draft headlines and choose pictures for stories, please, I beg , these small choices matter a LOT.

I guarantee you that 99% of the who saw this tweet did not click the story, and as a result will leave with a completely false opinion about happened. pic..com/kA9VrHsrmV

Reichlin-Melknick explained in a further tweet that the caravan was down to approximately 3,200 migrants in one report after starting with 7,000.

“That’s up from 3,000 reported on Tuesday—so that number will keep climbing,” he said of the migrants leaving the caravan and returning to their home country.

Several hours later Reichlin-Melnick praised NPR for changing the image to one that is less “inflammatory” in his estimation. Extremely pleased to see that NPR has now changed the picture on this article in response to the critique! pic.twitter.com/LYEVbC5rVm
