Fox News runs with fake story about migrants displacing homeless veterans - All In - MSNBC

Last week, Fox News went all in on a story about migrants displacing veterans from a New York hotel, featuring it on no less than 15 different shows. The network even claimed to have substantiated the reporting themselves. But then the whole thing unraveled. - Aired on 05/22/2023.


This is from my local newspaper:

Saratoga, Fulton counties declare emergencies over migrants - Albany Times Union

Fearing surge, a growing number of upstate communities pass pre-emptive measures

1. Shameful that all the politicians that jumped on the bandwagon and parroted fake news

Never Questioned why homeless veterans are living in hotels and not permanent housing. I doubt these hotels are The Hilton, heck not even Motel 6.

3. Well, somebody's listening and completely swallowed this bogus story

Not only have two Upstate New York communities declared emergencies due to an influx of migrants - who have yet to appear - but the local newspaper reported on a recent meeting in my community where it was suggested that migrants would be welcome here to help fill local jobs. And several locals who have had experience aiding migrants offered to help. But a couple of attendees at the meeting freaked out about being "overrun," so the suggestion has been tabled till the next meeting. And we're talking Northeastern New York where we have seen no migrants at all.

2. Meanwhile, McKarthy's Klown Klub

Proposes to DEEPLY cut VA services.

So this fake-ass total bullshit story comes along at a great time.
