The legacy media just got served another heaping plate of humble pie, and this time it comes with an Irish accent. Remember Seamus Culleton, the supposedly innocent Irishman that the press painted as a victim of Trump's "heartless" deportation machine? Well, patriots, it turns out our boy Seamus has been hiding some very interesting details about his 16-year illegal stay in America.
According to the sob story peddled by the usual suspects in the mainstream media, Culleton was just a hardworking immigrant who accidentally overstayed his 90-day tourist visa back in 2010. Poor Seamus, they claimed, was being torn away from his American life by the big, bad Trump administration for the heinous crime of... working hard and contributing to society.
But like a Road Runner cartoon, the media's narrative just got flattened by an ACME anvil of truth. It appears that Seamus's "clean" record isn't quite as spotless as his supporters would have you believe.
Media Takes the Bait, Hook, Line and Sinker
This is exactly why Americans have lost all trust in the corporate press. They're so desperate to paint President Trump as a villain that they'll run with any story that fits their predetermined narrative - without doing basic journalism.
How many times have we seen this movie? The media finds their perfect victim, crafts an emotional story designed to tug at heartstrings, and then gets completely blindsided when the real facts emerge. Remember the "kids in cages" photos that turned out to be from the Obama era? Or the countless other "bombshells" that turned out to be duds?
President Trump's immigration enforcement isn't about being cruel - it's about following the law and protecting American citizens. When you've been in the country illegally for 16 years, you don't get to claim victim status just because you finally got caught.
The American people deserve media that tells the truth, not activists masquerading as journalists. How many more times will the press fall for these manufactured sob stories before they learn to do their homework first?
