There have been facilities before, but this isn’t happening the same way it was where separation was on purpose. There are stories covering the current conditions, but I think you’re overlooking the fact that the prior administration and supporters seemed to embrace and encourage that narrative because they saw it as a deterrent.
> I think journalists are masters of rhetoric
You should meet the average journalist. Just like any other industry, the vast majority are unremarkable people. They’re not rhetorical masterminds. Like most people they see and write things from their point of view.
What’s more interesting to me is how some of the biggest names in media are obviously the rhetorical masters you speak of. I’m referring specifically to the TV and YouTube stars. Some of them are incredibly good at being convincing even if often contradictory or wrong. I also think video can be effective in ways text cannot be.
