The Federal Communications Commission chief blasted news outlets owned by Comcast over their coverage of a case involving a mistakenly deported Salvadoran immigrant who the Trump administration contends is a gang member.
“Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public — implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding U.S. citizen, just a regular “Maryland man,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr wrote in a post on the social platform X. “When the truth comes out, they ignore it.”
Carr said Comcast, like all major media conglomerates that operate news divisions, “knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest.”
“News distortion doesn’t cut it,” he added.
Carr’s condemnation of NBC News and MSNBC’s parent company comes a day after President Trump issued a similar threat to the broadcast network and referenced Comcast’s plans to spin off its cable assets this year.
"“Abrego Garcia came to America illegally from El Salvador, was validated as a member of the violent MS13 gang — a transnational criminal organization — and was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others,” Carr wrote.
He added, “Why does Comcast ignore these facts of obvious public interest?”"
Because those “facts” aren’t true?
Abrego Garcia came here illegally? - False.
Validated as a member of MS13? - False.
Denied bond because he’s a danger? - False.They know it’s not true. We’ve reached the point that they are trying to directly intimidate the public with violence to accept state narratives.
Also
was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others,”
Is that how it works? I figured the court would need to prove he was a danger. You know, according to the fourth fucking amendment. But I’m not a lawyer, silly me.
Abrego Garcia came here illegally? - False
Wikipedia says he illegally immigrated.
Summarizing the relevant info from the sources you cited:
Wikipedia cites AP, and AP reports he indeed immigrated illegally in 2011 to escape gang violence, but doesn’t give more details. (It could be an illegal border crossing or overstaying a visa, maybe another source mentions how.) Whatever the process, his brother went through it as well a few years ago and is now a citizen. That’s who Garcia went to when initially arriving to the US. What cons don’t mention is that, despite all this, a judge granted him protection from being deported all the way back in 2019. He’s also married to a US citizen.
My 2c:
Keep speaking up against this and similar injustices, and don’t let them get away with setting the narrative!
This “illegals” hysteria will never go away until we loudly reject the idea that people deserve punishment for being undocumented, or that being undocumented makes you “illegal” / part of an invasion or “great replacement” plot / less deserving of rights such as due process / deserving of deportation in particular as punishment. Remember that being undocumented is a civil offense, like a speeding ticket. Ironically, you speeding is more dangerous to society than you being undocumented.
Don’t get bogged down on the details. Hammer them on the hard points. Whether or not he illegally immigrated doesn’t make their actions any less atrocious — they know this, otherwise they wouldn’t have to lie so much about it. Keep the pressure if you want to right this wrong. The more their abuses come to light and are fought publicly for all to see, the more people will realize how disgusting the “illegals” framing really is and how it’s all just a modern witch hunt.
Ok bud
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_of_Kilmar_Abrego_Garcia
Abrego Garcia grew up in El Salvador and then immigrated illegally to the United States in 2011 at the age of 16 to escape gang threats.
Title had me in the first half not gonna lie
They did it… They made Comcast the good guys. Holy shit.
Damn, they gonna do EA next?
This is fascism.
Carr is a traitor to the Republic.
What is the simple term for verifying the “news” is aligned with your propaganda?
“Fakt Checking?”
War is peace. Ignorance is strength.
Nazi sympathizer filth. A traitor to his country and its people.
Too much hypocrisy should be terminal—a build-up of toxins in the bloodstream or something.
