Time magazine has issued a correction to a controversial cover story about a Honduran migrant girl who they said was taken from her mother by US border patrol agents after it was revealed that the pair were never separated at all.

Three-year-old Yanela Denise became the unintentional face of the now defunct family separation crisis after photographer John Moore captured her agonized face screaming as her mother was questioned by agents on June 12.

After the picture was taken, the pair were taken together to a family detention center. Yanela's father has since told DailyMail.com that they are 'safe'.

As millions shared Yanela's photograph on social media and attached to fundraisers for other children who have been separated from their families, Time used it on its cover.  The magazine photoshopped an image to place her at the foot of a towering Donald Trump and the words 'Welcome to America' appeared next to it.

'The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she (was) taken from the scene.

'The girl was not carried away screaming by US Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together,' the magazine said.

Editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal stood by using the picture, saying that while Yanela herself may not have been taken by agents, the photograph and her desperation in it encapsulates the mood of the issue.

Somebody needs to tell the Authoress that declaring something a "mistake" and then justifying it isn't an apology.  Maybe this is one of those things we see differently because we live on this side of the pond.

No, it pretty much just encapsulates the mood of an unfortunate child saddled with an irresponsible parent.

Time’s public relations Dept must be an exciting place to work lately.

Too late now, "Mission Accomplished"

They must feel it's had the desired effect, so now they can "apologize".

The Left is both relentless and unapologetic in their blatant fake propaganda. That is why their motto is, By any means necessary.

There will come a day... (probably sooner than we think).... when they will refuse to apologize for using their most effective tool.... ie fake news, lies = propaganda.  They already hate having to apologize, especially since they don't mean it.  The gloves are coming off more and more, day by day.  Just wait.

This is what happens when you define and dehumanize "the other", people not like you. Just like the Nazis did with so many, the Left is defining anyone who disagrees with their agenda as not only subhuman, but actually Satanic. This gives them licence to do anything they want to, without regard to decency, truth, laws or rules.

The Left has become a true religious cult. And anyone who is not in their cult is Satanic. Since they believe they are fighting against Satan, then anything goes. And whatever happens to Satan or his followers is legitimate, because they deserve whatever happens to them.

When you begin to view Leftists as true religious zealots, then all their behavior falls into place.

It's something we all need to be careful to avoid doing the same things.

And note that... radical Islam (like ISIS and Iran) does the exact same thing.  They call the US "the great Satan".... when they are the ones sponsoring and engaging in mass murders and terrorism.
