Time did not make up the crisis at the border.  That is what I care about.  What picture or drawing they use does not make any difference to me.  Only the people who fall for Trumps deflection of blame care much about that.

The picture does not change the story.  The picture does not change the issue.  The picture is just something Trump has used to get his followers a reason to blame the media instead of him.

However if you want to talk about "integrity" what about Trumps claim that it was impossible for him to do anything to fix this problem just 3 days before signing the executive order to fix it.  That was a flat out lie.  If Trump supporters really cared anything about "integrity" then they would be turning away from the President instead of attacking TIME magazine.

But perhaps folks don't Blame Trump for the child separation; I know I do not. He simply enforced a law to draw attention to an issue. Anyone doing any deflection is someone that deflects from someone crossing our border illegally while there are law abiding citizens trying to migrate the legal way. They are doing that by saying: "Look they're taking away their children!!!". While ignoring the illegal activity that lead to that point.

There is no strawman in suggesting Time used a photo that calls into question journalistic integrity and falsely stated the child on the cover was separated.
