The Biden presidency has seen month after month of record-breaking border crossings. From July of 2021 through June of 2022 there were 2,361,553 border crossings. But during that time, just 146 minutes of coverage on the network evening newscasts. In June, just a scant 15 minutes. Only eight in May. ( See my study here .)
But back during the Trump presidency, CBS was worrying about illegal border crossings… from Canada, that is. Four years ago today, CBS This Mornings highlighted the desperate need to secure the (Canadian) border.
Here’s Gayle King on August 6, 2018: “CBS News has learned that the number of people illegally crossing the United States northern border is up 142 percent.”
Reporter Don Dahler explained that in Vermont there’s areas with no security. Talking to a border agent, Dahler looked at a rickety gate and wondered: “Does this represent the physical security infrastructure along the northern border?… A gate with a lock?”
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Border patrol agent Norm Lague replied: “This is a part of that, yes.” Dahler explained the threat from Canada: Norm Lague is the border patrol agent in charge here, responsible for stopping criminal gangs, drug traffickers and undocumented immigrants.. He showed us the back roads, farms, and waterways offering easy access between U.S. and Canada. And yet, now that the southern border is in full crisis, networks like CBS don’t care at all.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
