CNN is pushing back against a local San Diego TV station that claims the network refused to book one of its reporters due to the station’s stance that walls effectively keep out immigrants.
We called several local stations to book someone for a show. We didn’t end up booking any of them. That happens many times every single day. We did, however, book a reporter from KUSI for a story on immigration and the border wall in November. This is a non story. #factsfirst?

Dear KUSI:
Let’s talk.

I am beginning to seriously mistrust any blond Barbi TV reader. Are they all manufactured as Fox airheads?
“After we informed them about our past reports, they declined to hear from us…”
So you admit your reporting is biased? Were you to report ‘facts’ and adhere to journalistic standards you would not have felt the need to say such a boneheaded thing.
Oh look…another right wing media stunt. Yawn.
Interesting WWII documentary on last night. Part of it had to do with Hitler’s obsession to build a wall. He apparently became obsessed about building it as his paranoia deepened when he realized America had decided to join the Allies. And it was 3,000 miles long, from France to Norway - but barely got 50% completed. Didn’t have the human resources and used kid soldiers to work on it - while losing 2,000 hardened troops a day on the Eastern Front. The kid soldiers who fortified the Wall at Omaha beach spent 2-3 years waiting for the Allied invasion, doing very little other than playing the beach, writing home how they enjoyed their time in France.
And the German army also conscripted about 30,000 civilians as slave labor to help work on Hitler’s Wall. So there’s always that.
