The American media loves the "gotcha game" where a reporter embarrasses a public official with a line of questioning. That pursuit has been in play since CBS White House Correspondent Dan Rather tortured President Richard Nixon in the late 1960s.

 

Throughout my career, I have asked very tough questions to the powerful in both parties, but gotcha wasn't my goal.  Simply put, I wanted to see how much the interview subject knew.  How accurately they could articulate their position.

 

Today, much of the press is on a mission to expose President Trump and his administrators as incompetent and even dangerous to the public.  In that pursuit, they are trying to weave a storyline that undocumented foreign nationals are being treated unfairly or even persecuted by the Trumpeters.

 

In order to sell that narrative, you have to cite examples of cruel behavior.  But in any massive deportation, tough things will occur.  However, the press is openly seeking negative stuff to blunt actions on foreign criminals.  That is literally unbelievable.  That's how much they hate Trump.
