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

A liberal activist forced to change a photograph on a 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 , 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 about happened. pic..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 administration to keep non-Mexican applicants for amnesty in 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

Michelle Malkin Follows the Money Behind the Open Borders Movement

WASHINGTON—Michelle Malkin, author and political commentator, was inspired to write her newest after caravans of migrants from began piling illegally across the U.S.– border in November 2018.

The book, “Open Borders Inc. Who’s Funding America’s Destruction?”, is a 500-page compendium that makes the case that U.S. sovereignty is on the brink of being lost, sold out through endless illegal immigration, amnesty deals, sanctuary policies, the refugee program, and systematic attacks on enforcement.

Malkin’s investigative premise was to follow the money, and this sentence perhaps best sums up her claim: “The open borders conspiracy enabling unrelenting waves of migrant outlaws is a colossal profit-seeking venture cloaked in humanitarian virtue.”

Malkin names hundreds of nonprofit groups and churches, with billion-dollar budgets, that are involved in eliminating America’s borders and creating a . She names corporations, CEOs, and Hollywood elites who push for a borderless America, and the liberal media that she says is complicit. She calls hedge fund George Soros the CEO of “Open Borders Inc.”

Malkin said billions, if not trillions, of dollars are involved.

“I think what’s shocking is not the fact that have a single hedge fund billionaire in George Soros—who has now earmarked $18 billion out of his $25 billion to go to these kinds of programs—but I think not enough Americans pay attention to the kind of philanthropy that is destroying America,” Malkin said.

“You cannot underestimate the ripple effect of that private philanthropy. I think what’s going to shock is the amount of taxpayer funding that is building off and leveraging the Soros piece of it. The refugee resettlement program itself has given billions of dollars to religious nonprofits that I’m sure a lot of churchgoers have no idea is going on.”
