lies on MSN web site

The MSN web site reprinted an editorial from the Daily Caller, supporting the shutdown, the wall, etc. It lied that there were hundreds of thousands of people crossing the border illegally. It even claimed that delay would "imperil humanity". I won't bother to include the link, it is easy enough to find.

I wonder who at MSN decided to reprint this drivel?

Because I think there may be a DU rule discouraging links to right-wing trash. But if you really want to see it, here it is: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/rep-biggs-it’s-time-for-the-president-to-declare-a-national-emergency-on-the-border/ar-BBRWPfv?ocid=spartanntp

The Daily Caller is a notorious right-wing web site.

simply has links to stories and editorials, including media such as The Daily Caller, The Hill, Fox News and others most of us don't care for.

and puts them between tons of advertisements. It is where is started my day about ten years ago. It was an excellent form of news aggregator. Now it seems to be mainly click-bait stories. I still drop by sometimes. Always look at who the content is from. They always disclose.
