The silence is the story: CNN and MSNBC ignored the violent July 4 attack on ICE agents
By Charlton Allen
While many Americans were celebrating Independence Day, law enforcement officers simply doing their jobs in Texas were under attack. A heavily armed and organized group of militants ambushed federal agents and local police outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado.
The attack was calculated, coordinated, and politically motivated. A police officer was shot in the neck. Multiple arrests followed. Authorities recovered tactical gear, riot weapons, and anti-government literature.
I previously wrote about how the radical left owns this violence. But that’s not the end of the story.
You’d think such an attack would lead every national broadcast. But if you were watching CNN or MSNBC that day, you wouldn’t have seen it at all.
That’s not rhetorical exaggeration—it’s a matter of record. Neither CNN nor MSNBC covered the attack on air, according to a detailed review by Fox News, and as first noted in an opinion column by Isaac Schorr at Mediaite.
Not in primetime. Not during breaking news segments.
The media minders on duty decided you didn’t need to know.
