Boss Tweed reportedly said that about Thomas Nast's caricatures.Tweed knew then as Fox knows now that powerful pictures leave a bigger impression than the most closely reasoned argument. That distraught little girl is the embodiment of a heinously cruel policy, and there's no arguing against it. That's why Trump partisans must negate it in any way possible. That's why the administration has closed off access to the kidnapped children, and has a blanket ban on all photography.

They think it vindicates them.

If the little girl is still with her mother that makes me very happy.

The supposed father said that the mother and daughter are not separated. I'm not sure I'm buying this supposed father's story, but even if it's true, it doesn't erase the horror for all of the separated families.

bullshit lie from Trumpy...the pic on Times I think is brutal for him.

a picture...Trump is a God Damned liar. And a ' spokesman' said this...you going to believe anything fucking Trumpers say? Show me a picture.

to use the photo

Not from the family...

EDIT: Here it is, it was taken by Time.

And trump never met the little girl. So, what's the point. The image conveys a particular point of view.

And not just a point of view. It conveys that there are atrocities committed at the hands of our government.

WHERE IS THE MOTHER?:

From the article posted?
Valera said the little girl and her mother, Sandra Sanchez, have been detained together in the Texas border town of McAllen, where Sanchez has applied for asylum, and they were not separated after being detained near the border.

She obviously was NOT with her mother when that picture was taken.

it said she was crying because her mother was being searched.

I really didn't know anything about her specific case and looked at her as a "representative" of all the kids getting traumatized. I have no reason to change that line of thinking.

I know the followers of -45 are quick to jump on this, but when they can say that this is the case with ALL of the other children, then they don't have anything to talk about. If the supposed father is telling the truth, then I'm relieved for that little girl. His story won't make me sleep any better at night.

The caption to the photo just said that her mother was being searched.

Here it is:

Separation is one aspect of the whole spectrum of mistreatment.

Except maybe yesterday.

so find a picture. If they were together, Trump would already have posted it.

Knew who posted the thread without even opening it.

Sid

I don't see where it states that on the cover.

It says "Welcome to America" and has the image of Trump looking at a little girl who was crying as her mother was being searched.

Powerful image.

Additionally, where are they. The father seems to be in the know and clueless, at the same time.

had happened.

How do I know this isn't more RW propaganda from another banana republic government owned by a US corporation.
Further I don't give a shit - if they'd let media in, we'd have even worse photos.

Perhaps a question might be asked why was this child allowed to stay with her mother when others were torn from their parent(s). Were Trump's policy orders arbitrarily enforced? What determined the separations? Were more boys separated because the WH thought cages boys provided better scary photo-ops?

but they corrected after initial reporting.

"A Time story recounting the photographer’s experience initially stated the girl was carried away screaming by border agents, and later corrected the article to say that the two were taken away together."
