    For the past month, talking heads on CNN and MSNBC have repeated numerous outright falsehoods about the Central American caravan: namely, that it is comprised of “mostly women and children”; that there is “no evidence” of
    criminals participating; and that none of those marching north are “economic migrants.” An MRC analysis of cable news coverage also identified eight instances in which panelists brazenly claimed that the existence of the caravan was itself a conspiracy theory.

    Below is a video documenting just some of the numerous narratives about
    the caravan that cable pundits have been pushing:

    On "Tucker Carlson" last night Buck Sexton (https://archive.is/0FVJe)
    discussed the biggest media lies about the caravan "crisis":

    -- Mostly women and children
    -- Mostly valid asylum seekers
    -- No known criminals
    -- Won't make it to the border
    -- No external organizers
    -- Troop deployment not helpful
    -- No threat to US personnel

    But he’s missing one of the biggest lies of them all -- the lie we’ve heard a million times now that "walls don’t work".

    Oh?:
