CNN requests KUSI for local view on the border, declines our reporter after finding out wall works

[Acadia]

After CNN's Jim Acosta proved that walls work (thanks, Jimmy!), they tried to see if they could gin up the narrative that walls don't work. But once again, it was a big fail.
Turns out, it's hard to find people who actually work at the border who think walls don't work. In fact, they say walls work, and they need more!

CNN requests KUSI for local view on the border, declines our reporter after finding out wall works

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Thursday morning, CNN called the KUSI Newsroom asking if one of our reporters could give them a local view of the debate surrounding the border wall and government shutdown.

KUSI offered our own Dan Plante, who has reported dozens of times on the border, including one story from 2016 that was retweeted by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, and posted on DrudgeReport.com. The Border Fence Tour is below.
We believe CNN declined a report from KUSI because we informed them that most Border Patrol Agents we have spoken to told us the barrier does in fact work.

We have continuously been told by Border Patrol Agents that the barrier along the Southern border helps prevent illegal entries, drugs, and weapons from entering the United States, and the numbers prove it.
CNN PR replied to our tweet with the following statement, “We called several local stations to book someone for a show. We didn’t end up booking any of them. That happens many times every single day. We did, however, book a reporter from KUSI for a story on immigration and the border wall in November. This is a non story.”

Border official shows Trump tunnels under the border wall. Trumps response?

An imperceptible nod and ..... move on! (I don't want America to see that)

 

[Acadia]

So because tunnels can be dug out we shouldn't build walls? That's absurd.
So, because we get cavities despite brushing and flossing, we shouldn't take preventative measures?

What you didn't see in the Acosta segment conservative media have carried:

​

Trump would have his 30' wall installed to replace the chain link fence because of the alleged "crisis" on the southern border. That's the way he wants to waste taxpayer's money instead of obtaining the money from Mexico as he promised he would, saying, no less, that doing so would be easy.

"And all these other characters say, 'Oh, they won't pay, they won't pay.' They don't know the first thing about how to negotiate. Trust me, Mexico will pay."
-- Donald Trump, April 2015​

If I manage to get you to buy this used truck here for $15,000, and I take that money and buy another, newer truck for $15,000, yes, you paid for my newer truck. Most of us don't conduct business using the models of a fourth grader.

Its insane how these liberals think, walls don't work but a line in the sand does? Can anyone explain the logic in that?

TV station backs off accusation that CNN played politics

NEW YORK — An executive at a San Diego television station that accused CNN of rejecting an appearance by one of its reporters for political reasons conceded Friday he didn’t really know why the network turned him down.

After CNN reached out to KUSI-TV to see if reporter Dan Plante would come on the air Thursday to talk about how a border barrier was working in the San Diego area, the segment never happened. CNN said plans change all the time, and that the network chose to have its own reporters talk about border security. But KUSI saw other motivations.

Steve Cohen, KUSI’s news director, said he told CNN that it might not want Plante because his reporting has concluded that a border wall there has worked well, and that such a conclusion might not fit the cable network’s “narrative” against the wall. He said he never got a call back.

Later in the article:

“Cohen said he never actually spoke to anyone about CNN about why Plante wasn’t used.
It’s certainly plausible that they didn’t want it for the viewpoint, or they just didn’t want it,” he said. “Both are plausible conclusions. I made one rather than the other.”

Geezus. Look at the brown criminal hordes scaling the fence! Thousands! A siege! A crisis! An invasion! A national emergency! (did I forget any of Trumps bloviating adjectives?)

...And yet, as shown by the above, you do.

• Value of your resources prior to the sale --> $15,000
• Value of your resources after the sale --> $15,000

What changed between "before" and "after" the sale? The nature of your resources, not their extent.

When someone else purchases something on one's behalf:

• Value of one's resources before the purchase --> X
• Value of one's resources after the purchase --> X + the value of the thing the other person/entity purchased on one's behalf.

Really?

I listened to an interview with the News chief for KUSI.

He stated CNN didn't want them because KUSI confirmed with ICE/BP that the fence in San Diego contributed to massive reduction in illegal entry in San Diego.

That script being the reduction of illegal entry post wall in California ...

 

[Bullseye]

So because tunnels can be dug out we shouldn't build walls? That's absurd.
So, because we get cavities despite brushing and flossing, we shouldn't take preventative measures?

KUSI has also done some good stories on tunneling under the border for drugs or illegal access. Contrary to popular conception these are a couple of guys walking up with shovels and creating a workable tunnel in an hour or two. Typically both ends are in abandoned buildings to hid the activity and take weeks to construct (getting rid of all that dirt isn't a simple matter. Then lighting and ventilation needs to be installed. The idea that someone is going to construct one of these in the middle of the California/Arizona/New Mexico desert is incredulous.


One of the issues border wall discussions seem to gloss over is that Trump's requests include money for more BP officers, technology upgrades, better holding facilities - including health care, and more immigration judges to expedite processing. The wall is not a build and forget project - it's a piece of a more comprehensive border security plan.

Yeah, unlike you, the brown hoard knows to go elsewhere rather than try to get through here. Also, unlike you they know to do it in the middle of the night, not in broad daylight.


Also, I imagine the brown hoard would, unlike you, be smart enough to climb the chain link fence further into the desert rather than trying to scale the slat fence.

Prior to CNN using the KUSI local talent KUSI notified CNN that the local talent would discuss the fact illegal immigration dropped in SD when the wall went up. CNN then declined.

Where did they decline? From Cohen's own words, he really didn't know why they declined. Then he goes on to say it could have been the viewpoint or they just didn't want it. He hadn't spoke to anyone at CNN to find out why.

If you're planning a project and you reach out to say, 25 businesses to see what they can offer, you then decide it's easier to use your own resources, do you call all those 25 back to explain in detail why they weren't picked?

Sorry but I have to go with this guy made an assumption it was political, and has since had to admit he really doesn't know.
