Shocker! Media Headlines Avoiding a Detail About Univ. of Georgia Murder Suspect

Shocker! Media Headlines Avoiding a Detail About Univ. of Georgia Murder Suspect

Another tragic consequence of Biden's open border is in the news, not that you'd know it from many media headlines, but I'll get to that in a second.

A University of Georgia student has been murdered and the suspect is a man who entered the U.S. illegally in 2022:

The University of Georgia Police Department have taken a suspect in custody in connection with the suspected homicide of a 22-year-old nursing student from Augusta University who police found dead on the University of Georgia campus Thursday.

Police have charged Jose Antonio Ibarra with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call and concealing the death of another, UGA Police Chief Jeffrey L. Clark said during a news briefing Friday evening. The suspect is not a U.S. citizen, according to authorities. 

Before the 2020 election, Joe Biden said that if he were to end up in the White House people should illegally "surge to the border," and that's exactly what happened.

The media's obviously focusing on giving Biden as much of an election year boost as possible (for example, today Axios re-posted a story claiming the border is "more fortified than ever"), which is why discovering that this murder suspect is an illegal alien is something you won't find out in many headlines. 

CNN wouldn't go there of course: 

Usually, you have to read at least a few paragraphs into the story to be informed of the suspect's legal status (or lack thereof). 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the suspect an "Athens man":

"Ibarra lives in Athens, but is not a U.S. citizen." No, AJC, he's a "Venezuelan man" in the U.S. illegally.

The correct version would be "Ibarra is an illegal alien who entered the country at the invitation of the Biden administration, then killed an innocent citizen."

If the murder suspect had been a big Trump supporter I'm guessing ALL media outlets would have found room for that in not only the first sentence of the story but in the headlines as well.

CBS News didn't mention that detail about the suspect, and their story only noted that he isn't a student at the University of Georgia:

Now imagine that headline if there was a Republican president and the border was open.

I guess CBS News didn't have room for that in the story.

The media will continue to work overtime this election year to run interference for what a tragic disaster the Biden presidency has been for the country and its citizens.
