CNN Refuses To Use San Diego News Station Which Says The Wall Works
CNN only wants to use news outlets which will agree with the false narrative they want to push on the America Public.
As part of their coverage of the border fence debate, CNN decided to reach out to San Diego’s KUSI-TV to ask what locals think about the barrier separating their little chunk of America from Mexico.
The end result was this 40-second segment posted Thursday detailing exactly what happened.
“A sign of the times in this debate on the shutdown,” anchor Anna Laurel says. “CNN asked if KUSI would provide a reporter to offer our local view of the debate, especially to learn if the wall works in San Diego.”
KUSI is an independent local news station in California. CNN probably expected someone to come on and tell them how the wall was a crime against humanity and it was a waste of money.
They weren’t going to get that.
“KUSI offered our own Dan Plante, who’s reported many times that the wall is not an issue here,” anchor Sandra Maas said.
“In fact, most officials believe that it is effective. The issue we face is the migrants and the debate over their treatment.”
This would have been an interesting segment — Plante, certainly not offering a take that CNN wasn’t used to, spurring some conversation on a network that’s not necessarily known to view the wall with any great kindness.
I say, of course, “would have been.” It didn’t happen for reasons that aren’t going to shock you.
“Now, knowing this, CNN declined to have us on our programs,” Laurel says, “which often present the wall as not required in other places like the stretch of the Texas border that the president visited earlier today.
“They didn’t like what they heard from us,” Laurel concludes.
“Just some background for you,” Maas says.
