I just wrote a long letter to the editor of USA Today about this article:
https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2018/10/31/george-soros-and-migrant-caravan-how-lie-multiplied-online/1824633002/It was a very interesting article. I suggest folks read EVERY word. To start with, USA Today makes a startling comment in the headline. The public commentary out there in social media, and in political speech about Soros funding the caravan is a
lie. That would mean something truly stunning. That USA Today, had fully investigated the funding of the invasion, also spoken to Soros and got a blanket denial, and then followed that up with records, and other evidence that Soros is truly NOT funding the caravan. It is very, very hard to prove a negative but somehow, USA Today started out with this fantastical assumption. Reading the article I was prepared at every para to find investigative results, interviews with banks, intl money groups, even Soros himself where he claims it is not true. To my disbelief, not one word of denial is anywhere in the article. Nothing, zip, nada. No statements, no investigation, no follow-up on where the funding is coming from. It's not free to feed people for 2 months on the road. Even poor people have to eat. Where did the money that was handed out in Guatemala come from? So far no one has found out, but USA Today is CERTAIN that it did not come from Soros or one of his philanthropic organizations.
I am - amazed. People read this headline and it is an instant unverified statement: "The funding for the caravan is NOT from Soros". People will read this and believe it in the absence of any kind of evidence.
