SF CHRONICLE BLAMES BREITBART FOR DRAWING MEDIA'S ATTENTION TO BORDER CRISIS

◼ In an op-ed published by the Chronicle Wednesday calling for "a more humane immigration policy," David Bacon blamed Breitbart's exposé for creating the impression that children were being sent to the U.S. in anticipation of being allowed to stay. - Breitbart

Bacon correctly noted that Breitbart News broke the story of the conditions in which the children were being held by U.S. Border Patrol, and singled out Brandon Darby of Breitbart Texas for credit--and calumny... The op-ed failed, however, to note that the Breitbart story was also picked up by the left-wing Huffington Post, which led with Darby's images on June 6. Other mainstream media outlets, both print and electronic, also followed up Breitbart's story.
