That’s right. The same propagandist who reported Kamala as in charge of the border, several calling her the border czar. Are changing their stance and actually editing and in some cases deleting their past articles.

In my opinion, many in the mainstream liberal media are nothing more than mouthpieces and spokesmen and spokeswomen for the leaders of the Democratic Party.

Why is this moniker important? We know that Harris was tasked with examining what was occurring at the border and coming up with things that might relieve some pain points, but "border czar" isn't a official title or anything, so what does it actually mean and why is it so important for it to be attached to Harris?

Axios has many articles referring to Harris as "border czar" but mostly from other conservative news outlets, but it says that Axios has referred to Harris as "border czar" previously also. In fact, I found the actual article that the tweet refers to. On Axios. It's from April of 2021. So, not deleted or scrubbed.

Oh great, information from a twitter account. (And yes, visegrad24 is nothing more than a twitter account.)

Polish Misinformation Using a Hungarian Recipe: The Curious Case of Visegrád 24

Axios manages to get the actual task given to VP Harris (examining root causes driving migration from Central America), but uses a "title" that has nothing to do with that (border "czar").

This screen cap of a twitter user posting something from an unidentified Axios article is not reporting.

This isn't the only one running cover, Time, and some other organization. Hypocrisy in media, and what's so bad about border czar wasn't Kerry nicknamed climate czar?

From the link:

Multiple media outlets insisted Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t the "border czar" despite being put in charge of the border crisis when she took office, including Axios, which used that exact phrasing in its own past reporting.

Harris was tasked early on in the Biden administration with addressing the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America. That part of her portfolio has emerged as a cornerstone of GOP-led attacks against the de facto Democratic presidential nominee, as states across the country continue to struggle with the migrant crisis.

However, media outlets have suddenly taken issue with the "border czar" moniker that Republicans used to describe her role as Harris heads toward the Democratic White House nomination, suggesting it's unfair to pin the thorny issue of illegal immigration on her.

Ah since the Republicans said it they go 180 out, why such a knee-jerk reaction or do they even remember what they've written? Or do they think we are stupid?

The problem I have with the reporting is that Harris was not put in charge of the border in some way, yet the wording could be taken to imply that she was. She was tasked with stemming the flow of migration from central America.

According to the President of the Inited States she was indeed put in charge of the border problem. Those are his words “because she is the best qualified”.

Dont believe me? Ok

How about believing Biden

Or how about here:



Quote:
US President Joe Biden has put Vice-President Kamala Harris in charge of controlling migration at the southern border following a big influx of new arrivals.
Mr Biden said he was giving her a "tough job" but that she was "the most qualified person to do it".
The numbers of people arriving have grown since Mr Biden took office.
They include hundreds of unaccompanied minors who are being held in immigration detention facilities.

You're misunderstanding me.

The article is saying she was "put in charge of the border crisis". Nowhere in the article did Biden say those words. So, I'm saying that those words are not quoting Biden and as articulated could be misinterpreted to mean that Harris was put in charge of the border. And that would be a misunderstanding because she was never put in charge of the border in any way. She was ---> put in charge of stemming the flow of migration from Central America.

SEE Right here---> WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he has appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead efforts to stem migration across the U.S.-Mexico border, as the administration faces growing political pressure to address a surge in undocumented migrant children unaccompanied by parents.

Biden said during an immigration meeting at the White House that he had asked Harris to lead the administration's efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, countries that will "need help stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border."

Your article is from 2021.
This is from the more recent article 2024: Harris-Czar:

“She had a very narrow mandate, which was to be the diplomatic representative in Central America at the time when most unauthorized immigration was coming from Central America,” said Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington.

Since 2021, immigration from the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, once the leaders in illegal immigration across the southwest border, has fallen from 86,089 in March 2021 to 25,015 in June 2024, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

To lead means to be in charge. I thought that is self explanatory

Great example of how they are rewriting it.

The border has been a monument al failure under the Harris leadership.

That is the simple truth.

You seem to have a lot of faith in the MSM’s reporting in 2021. You never struck me as the type to accept what they say as gospel. Why are you so sure they were right when they labeled Harris as “the border czar”?

I understand how it may seem that way to you. But no, leading a diplomatic effort with foreign countries to stem the flow of migration is not the same as being in charge of running the border. If you were put in charge of decreasing the amount of homeless people in need of coming to a soup kitchen for food, it does not mean you were put in charge of running the soup kitchen.

This can't logically be a rewrite since 2021 was when she was appointed for the task and the results of her work are in the 2024 article.

So, you're expressing an opinion not a fact. Neither your opinion nor my opinion dictates the truth.

According to the border data, this is what is true ---> Since 2021, immigration from the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, once the leaders in illegal immigration across the southwest border, has fallen from 86,089 in March 2021 to 25,015 in June 2024, according to Customs and Border Protection data. <---- That's a 70% decrease.
