With recent moves by Governors Abbot and DeSantis to send immigrants to other states, the media have melted down in glorious fashion.

09.15.22

Low Octane Gas Lighting – THE WHITE HOUSE

  • Our migrant trafficking is not anything to concern yourselves about.

To kick off all of this hysteria, we need to simply point out the Biden administration has been shipping immigrants out to other states for more than a year now. Simple fact. For all of the venom and bile that is to follow, it is all negated by that reality. Listening to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, all of this becomes a vaudevillian comedy enterprise.

News Avoidance Syndrome – CNN

  • Pretending this is a new issue is hardly an impressive stance.

Sure, it could be seen as nitpicking to note that Ron DeSantis, not Abbot, sent the plane to Martha's Vineyard, but this is a CNN analyst on the issue lecturing. Accuracy is needed when delivering an expert condemnation.

What is remarkable about Kayyem's response to 50 people sent there is that it has to ignore the lengthy influx Texas has been contending with, absent this journalistic hand-wringing. Apparently, thousands camped under a highway overpass is not considered a crisis because it is in Texas. A few dozen sent to a liberal enclave, however, is elevated to a national security issue.

Both Kinds of Standards – THE BULWARK

  • Funny how this became inhumane overnight. Almost like who is doing it matters.

Mona Charen, quite unsurprisingly, learned of what Governor DeSantis did and found it to be the vilest performance she has ever witnessed.

Of course, Joe Biden doing this very thing for at least a year now is hardly considered an ethical violation of crisis proportions.

Pathological Media Amnesia – MSNBC

  • Chris Hayes sounds positively disgusted by the stance of…uh…Chris Hayes.

The MSNBC host saw the DeSantis maneuver and was positively sickened by it.

This level of contempt, however, seems to be in direct opposition to the affluent liberal Hayes making claims that affluent liberals do not mind living with migrants, so color me confused.

Anti-Social Media – HOLLYWOOD

  • For allegedly creative people, they sure plagiarize Godwin's Law regularly.

Did a Republican enact something that we disapprove of? Well, they must be called a Nazi by default! Cue the reliably dim "Star Trek" veteran George Takai, who looked over the Ron DeSantis flight and instantly had to go to Hitler allusions. 

Seemingly unaware (as usual), Takai has just seen that Joe Biden has been hit the hardest.

Pre-Written Field Reports – THE BULWARK

  • Biden is Catholic, not Christian, so it is different.

Another reliable trope to trot out politically when the Republicans manage to execute a plan that disgusted the left is to try to throw their Christianity back at them as a form of rebuke. DeSantis sending 50 people to the sanctuary state of Massachusetts is somehow a violation of Christian principles.

Perhaps Bill could shed some light on the religious implications of avowed Catholic Joe Biden sending far more than 50 flights filled with immigrants into Florida. 

Presentation Paradox – REUTERS

  • We need to have a discussion on the sense of scale.

At Reuters, they took a curious approach to the news of the Martha's Vineyard flights. 

Crunching the numbers, it seems difficult to rationalize how sending a few dozen immigrants in any way alleviates the burden when far more pour into Texas, for example, on an hourly basis.

Low Octane Gas Lighting – HOLLYWOOD

  • "You would never hear the Biden people making light of such a…oops."

The obliviousness in the high-minded set of this country has been remarkable. 

Supposedly they not only are unaware that Biden has been shipping people around this country, but when people today are lashing out at conservatives finding humor in the DeSantis move, they are also oblivious that Biden's people were joking over their shipments.
