The Hill Slimes Trump, Misleads With ‘Former Japanese Internment Camp’ Headline
The epitome of a fake news headline.
The Hill posted an intentionally misleading headline Wednesday, meant to stir division and garner clicks, which suggested that President Donald J. Trump was going to intern migrant children like president Franklin Delano Roosevelt did to the Japanese during World War II.
“JUST IN: Trump administration to send migrant children to former Japanese internment camp,” The Hill said on its Twitter account, linking to its story.
But when one clicks the link (which is surely the goal of the scare-mongering Tweet) there is much more to the story.
“The Health and Human Services Department, which operates the Office of Refugee Resettlement, said it was activating facilities at Fort Sill Army Base near Lawton, Okla., as a temporary emergency shelter for children detained at the border,” the report said.
So the Trump administration is using an operational Army base to shelter migrants, given that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities are full, and the other option – which also has been used – is to simply dump the migrants in random southwestern towns.
The piece continues to explain that in 2014, president Barack H. Obama used the Army base for the same purpose.
“The site also was used as a shelter in 2014 under the Obama administration,” the piece said.

President Trump Takes Down Chinese State Media Reporter: “Who Do You Work For, China?”
The reporter works for a company all-but controlled by the Chinese government.
President Donald Trump correctly questioned if a reporter promoting the supposed efforts of Chinese companies to provide needed coronavirus supplies was working for a Chinese-government controlled media company at Monday’s press conference.
Youyou Wang asked a question that was phrased as more of a statement, describing the humanitarian efforts of Chinese companies Huawei and Alibaba as a potential motive for the United States to rescind trade restrictions on China in the wake of the epidemic.

“Who are you working for, China? Do you work for China, or do you work for a newspaper? Who are you with?”
Youyou Wang stated that she works for a privately owned media company, but scrutiny of Hong Kong Phoenix TV reveals that it’s closely linked to the Chinese government. According to The National Pulse’s Raheem Kassam, 37.1% of the company’s parent, Phoenix Satellite Holdings, is owned by a former Colonel for China’s state propaganda TV channel. Another 20% of the company is owned by Extra Step Investments Limited, which is a subsidiary of a Chinese government-owned company called China Mobile.

Mainstream media operatives immediately pivoted to paint Trump’s wholly reasonable inquiry to the nature of Wang’s media company as somehow prejudiced, claiming that it was inappropriate that Trump question the motives of someone who was trying to defend China’s major corporations and government in the midst of the pandemic.
His suspicions appear to have been validated, considering no more than 65% of the company is owned by individuals and entities with demonstrable connections to the Chinese government. Many of China’s nominally ‘private’ companies are essentially owned by the nation’s authoritarian government and work tirelessly to advance its interests.
