MSM Claims Weak Border Wall Was Knocked Down By Strong Winds – That's Not the Whole Story

Editor

The wall that President Trump is having built along the wall is supposed to be a really great wall.

He has boasted of it time and time again talking about how strong it is and that it's almost impossible to knock it down. Because he said that, the media had a frenzy after one small segment fell during strong winds last week.

Here are some of the headlines and comments that a few news outlets published:

CNN: Portion of US border wall in California falls over in high winds and lands on Mexican side

NBC News: Portions of California border wall wilt and fall into Mexico after high winds

HuffPost: “Trump’s signature border wall fell over in Mexico from high winds a day after he boasted about the strength of his barrier.”

AJ+: Part of President Trump’s proposed border wall fell over because of high winds.

NowThis: “Strong gusts of wind knocked over new sections of Trump’s border wall into Mexico”

It doesn't take much digging to realize that these are far-left organizations.

But these headlines are completely misleading.

Yes, a small segment of the wall fell over, but what they're failing to report is that the reason these strong winds were able to knock over the segment is because the wall hadn't been anchored down yet.

Washington Post border reporter Nick Miroff also stated that these headlines are misleading and specifically called out CNN’s coverage of the incident. He tweeted: “I get the urge to dunk on the border wall, but this is misleading. The panels that fell over in the wind were not anchored yet. You can clearly see that in the photo. And adjacent sections did NOT fall, likely because the concrete base had time to harden.”

“When there are issues, flaws, problems etc with the border wall and its construction, we will continue to cover them. This incident was not one of those.”
