CNN faced a torrent of ridicule Monday after blurring out signs showing criminal migrants who have been arrested during a White House media event.
The move was slammed by critics as an outrageous attempt to shield the public from the grim reality of illegal immigration.
The signs, featuring the photos and offenses of 100 deported illegal immigrants, were planted along the White House driveway and placed deliberately in the line of TV news cameras to highlight President Donald Trump’s progress on border enforcement during his second term’s first 100 days.
Both CNN along with MSNBC blurred the images of placards.
‘They really don’t want you to miss it,’ CNN anchor Jake Tapper said before launching into a commentary dripping with sarcasm over the signs.
‘They subtly and tastefully decked the White House north lawn with dozens of yard signs featuring photos of people that the Trump administration claims are in the country illegally.
‘Each poster staying “Arrested” and listing the alleged offense with which they have been charged.
The list of names included illegals arrested for heinous crimes such as rape, murder, the sexual assault of children, and dealing drugs.
