Vice President Mike Pence blasted CNN over their dishonest border detention facility coverage.
CNN is so dishonest. Today we took reporters to a detention facility on the border for families and children and all told us they were being treated well.

The crisis at our southern border is not a “manufactured crisis”, it is real and is overwhelming our system. To show this, we also visited an overcrowded facility for adult men, many of whom have been arrested multiple times.

These men were in a temporary holding area because Democrats in Congress have refused to fund additional bed space.

Rather than broadcast the full story, showing the compassionate care the American people are providing to vulnerable families, tonight CNN only played video of men in the temporary facility and didn’t play any footage of the family facility at all…

ignoring the excellent care being provided to families and children. Our great @CBP agents deserve better and the American people deserve the whole story from CNN! pic.twitter.com/hsKsU6umhW

Here is the video he is likely speaking of:

Pence has a right to be mad. The interview with him was one of attempting to debunk rather than to inform. They decided to show misleading photos of a holding facility rather than the facilities that the families were being housed in.
They also fail to point out the failings and opposition by Democrats to fixing the problems at the border.
