To clarify, the importance of this is to demonstrate not that using tear gas is fine or not fine, but to demonstrate that it’s much less about the tear gas use itself but rather who’s doing the gassing.
There was no national conversation about war crimes when it happened under Obama, so why are we talking about war crimes when it happens under Trump? There’s only one variable here. Tear gas use remains constant, only the president changed.
Ask yourself if you’re selectively outraged depending on who’s doing the thing.
Let’s just grant it isn’t a “war crime”. It is merely the sort of beastly behavior civilized people should be ashamed of. But *not *a war crime. You won that point, hands down.
So you believe that media sources in general distort the news. But the one that happens to agree with your view is reporting the straight unvarnished truth.

That’s still my opinion. And if you don’t put it through your “Let me read into this and magnify x 1000 into something I can be apoplectic about filter”, it’s really an unremarkable claim. But since your x1000 filter seems to be set to automatic, yawn.
But he’s already got a propagandist news organization – Fox News reporters have been campaigning for Trump and his policies thus erasing the line between reporter and reported.
Hannity is the poster child but there are others. FN management harrumphed a lot for maintain the fig leaf but didn’t immediately fire Hannity’s ass, as any reputable news organization would have done.
I just imagine Trump News being little more than a constant supercut of Trump saying 'The very Best…the best… the very best… best…best guys…best" from his various comments.
I just wonder what percent of the US population imagines Trump sitting in a room watching the scene at the border unfold, then slowly picking up a telephone and whispering, “Gas 'em.”
