"A Getty photographer snapped a picture of a crying girl a few weeks ago and became the go-to image for the border fiasco. Time used the picture on its cover to bash Trump, but the girl’s father said that the child and her mother were never separated.
"In fact, he told The Daily Mail, “They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border.”
"The Daily Mail spoke to Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, who resides in Puerto Cortes, Honduras:" . . .
But since when did they care about facts? Moore also told Time his story and put in the articlethat “the girl was carried away screaming by border agents.” The magazine had to go back and change the FACT that the girl and her mother went together.
