The Regime Media have a long, sordid history of looking the other way at stories that fail to advance their narratives or otherwise make Democrats in power look bad. But some stories are so bad that they break through anyway. Case in point: the toddler recently found at the southern border along with a bunch of other unaccompanied minors.
Per The New York Post:
A 2-year-old migrant girl was found at the US border Sunday clutching a piece of paper with just a first name and phone number on it — becoming the heart-rending symbol of the Biden administration’s abject failure to protect the most vulnerable of asylum-seekers.
The child from El Salvador, clad in a bright pink jacket, was among a group of more than 200 illegal migrants — including 60 unaccompanied minors — detained after crossing the border into Maverick County, Texas, authorities said.
Footage of the little girl outraged pols in sanctuary city New York and beyond who ripped President Biden and “border czar” Vice President Kamala Harris over the nation’s immigration debacle.
Such a story would have garnered top billing during the first Trump Administration, along with caterwauling over the cruelty of such border policy and wailing in sackcloth over family separation. But, alas, not a peep on NBC, Univision, CBS, or ABC- which instead teased its Elton John documentary.
NBC refused to bump its jihad against raw milk in order to cover the abandoned toddler. Corporate partner Telemundo, however was the sole outlet to air the story on its evening newscast:

VANESSA HAUC: A girl who was only two years old was found on the southern border without any adult in charge of her, and along with about 60 minors. Crossings by unaccompanied children and adolescents have increased in recent weeks, as has happened during other changes in administration. But this time the young age of this little girl is surprising, as Francisco Cuevas tells us.
BORDER PATROL: Venezuela, mama? Venezuela? Yeah? How old are you?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Two.
BORDER PATROL: Two?
FRANCISCO CUEVAS: She is a little Salvadoran girl, only two years old, and was part of a group of more than 200 migrants intercepted in the Eagle Pass area by the Texas Department of Public Safety, who provided this video.
What untold horrors was this baby exposed to en route to the southern border- a border opened wide by the outgoing administration? A media interested in finding facts and doing journalism would’ve found those answers. This embarrassment of a Regime Media instead suppresses the story. Perhaps they, too, are embarrassed by what they’ve enabled.

VANESSA HAUC: A girl who was only two years old was found on the southern border without any adult in charge of her, and along with about 60 minors. Crossings by unaccompanied children and adolescents have increased in recent weeks, as has happened during other changes in administration. But this time the young age of this little girl is surprising, as Francisco Cuevas tells us.
BORDER PATROL: Venezuela, mama? Venezuela? Yeah? How old are you?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Two.
BORDER PATROL: Two?
FRANCISCO CUEVAS: She is a little Salvadoran girl, only two years old, and was part of a group of more than 200 migrants intercepted in the Eagle Pass area by the Texas Department of Public Safety, who provided this video. 60 of the children, according to authorities, were between two and 17 years old and were unaccompanied minors.
BORDER PATROL: Venezuela? Where are you going, mama?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: With my mom and dad.
BORDER PATROL: Where are they?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: United States.
ERICK ESTRADA: The kids were coming, right? No blankets. They came without sweaters.
CUEVAS: Sergeant Erick Estrada with the Texas Department of Public Safety told Noticias Telemundo that these cases have increased in recent weeks.
ESTRADA: It is something that I have seen personally and really, well, children come in conditions that honestly one does not want to see.
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: I come from El Salvador and I'm going to Boston.
CUEVAS: This area of Eagle Pass is where the majority of unaccompanied minor crossings have been recorded recently. But the authorities are surprised by the increasingly younger age of many of these minors who, according to the authorities, are introduced by coyotes through the dangerous Rio Grande River abandoned on American soil.
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: My name is Sharon.
BORDER PATROL: How old are you, mama?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Four years old.
BORDER PATROL: How old?
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR: Four years old.
BORDER PATROL: Four years old?
CHRISTINA SMALLWOOD: The thing that is most important for us is to verify that everyone is in good health. They are provided with medical care if needed.
CUEVAS: But in the border cities where these encounters are taking place, there is concern about the risk to which these children are being subjected.
NORMA PIMENTEL: Letting themselves come with the hope that they want to enter this country does not guarantee that they will be able to enter and that they will be able to stay. So I would like them to take into account the serious consequences that exist for them.
CUEVAS: Texas is increasing surveillance to prevent more images like this. Governor Greg Abbott will be visiting Eagle Pass tomorrow with newly appointed border czar Tom Homan, in search of new strategies. Francisco Cuevas, Noticias Telemundo.
