CBS, the one-time Tiffany network, sent reporter Steven Fabian to the Arizona-Mexico border. He didn’t find any illegal aliens, but he did find neo-Nazis.
In fact, the CBS website headlines the story “Neo-Nazis patrolling U.S. border.”
At the beginning of his report, Fabian says, “J. T. Ready is the leader of tonight’s group. He is also a member of the National Socialist movement, a group that some experts call a neo-Nazi organization that believes in a white separatist state.”
Unfortunately, Fabian never identifies these “experts” nor the source of their information. He never quizzes Ready about his neo-Nazi beliefs. And he never disputes Ready’s assertion that his group is looking for drug smugglers and illegal aliens because the federal government won’t.
Ahhh, but Fabian does mention that this armed band of neo-Nazis actually found a few illegal aliens during their patrol and reports on the brutal treatment they suffered at the hands of the evil Aryans. They were “given water and turned over to authorities.” No beatings. No ovens. No nothin’.
Later, toward the end of the report, Fabian says, “Citizen patrols like this one, led by an alleged neo-Nazi organization, worry local law enforcement.”
Again, no evidence is presented to support the assertion that Ready is a neo-Nazi. He may well be. We don’t know. There are certainly thousands of online references that say he is. But wouldn’t that have been an interesting line of questioning for Fabian to follow?
But what do we know about such things. No one’s ever called us the Tiffany of blogs.
