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

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

Attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council 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 you, these small choices matter a LOT.

I guarantee you that 99% of the people who saw this tweet did not click the story, and as a result will leave with a completely false opinion about what happened. pic.twitter.com/kA9VrHsrmV
— Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) January 21, 2021 The article reported the announcement of the Biden administration to rescind the policy of the former Trump administration to keep non-Mexican applicants for amnesty in Mexico for the duration of their application being processed.

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

John Wick but with realistic sounding suppressors

I hate to break it to you, John Wick is fake as hell. It’s awesome but fake.

Most of the opposition to suppressors come from people who’ve never heard a real one. They believe the Hollywood fakery on how much sound they put out and actually think you can kill someone in a crowded room without anyone hearing.

There are countless examples of people making this claim as the suppressor debate raged in 2016. There was a narrative that Trump would make suppressors easy to access and cheap if he became president, and countless people would die without a sound. How’d that conspiracy turn out?

Here’s an example of that ignorant fear-mongering by Hillary Clinton (who was shot at by snipers in Bosnia):

That tweet was fact-checked into oblivion but anti-gun activists are a cult. They are never embarrassed when their dogma is debunked. Nor do they stop repeating said debunked dogma, leading to more ignorant people falling for the lie.

That’s why this video is so good.

It takes a scene from John Wick where a gun battle happens in a crowded train station without anyone noticing. Again, people actually believe this is possible.

The video replaces the fake and unrealistic shooting sounds with sounds more accurately representing what it would really sound like as these two shot at each other with suppressors.

Like nearly everything you hear or see from Hollywood, movie suppressor sounds are far from reality.
