I wrote about this story earlier today, but I wanted to take a different angle because it goes to the heart of what is wrong with the mainstream media these days. 

They are nothing but stenographers for local government officials. Videos went viral about what is happening in Springfield, and as far as I can tell, NOT ONE mainstream media reporter went to Springfield to see what was happening. 

The entire effort of the media is to "debunk" the viral stories rather than investigate them. Perhaps they are true, perhaps not. Surely something is happening there. After all, no town could increase its population by a third with uneducated people from one of the most dysfunctional societies in the world without there being some problems. 

Because just as with Aurora, Co. once the city or the mayor or Governor acknowledges the problem, they are admitting to the existence of the problem that started and continued under their administrative polices. https://t.co/Q3Fz5K1s4Q

Certainly, citizens are saying they are there, and nobody seems to even be interested in asking them what they think. 

I care about cats and dogs, but immigrants eating them (or not) isn't the story; it is the sense of helplessness and alienation that so many people in Springfield are feeling. And they are right to feel it.

CNN just confronted @JDVance on the migrant pet-eating controversy.

They were not prepared for his response 🔥pic.twitter.com/waszq3wMJJ

J.D. Vance had it right: people in Springfield deserve better, and part of that should be the media going to talk to them instead of deriding them as lying boobs. I guarantee you that NOT ONE of these media mavens would tolerate anything similar happening in their neighborhoods and that the local government would move heaven and earth to ensure it didn't.

Ask the residents of Martha's Vineyard about that. 

Why would the city manager admit that they are letting it happen?

No way they’d admit how awful they let it get.

Let me say it again: the story is not cats. It's people. People are having their lives turned upside down and the media has put a target on their backs because they are fine with it. Anybody who objects to being part of a vast social science experiment in which elites in Washington D.C. ship migrants from third-world countries to their doorstep is labeled a xenophobic boob. 

My answer to these jerks: you go first.
