There is no straw man. Time showed an amazing lack of journalistic integrity. That's a problem that can and has detracted away from the real issue of familial separation.

Well, many of us are capable of caring about multiple issues. I can care about families getting separated AND that Time has demonstrated a lack of journalistic integrity.

Not only Trump supporters care about journalistic integrity. Pretty much every anti-Fox News liberal has seemingly cared for it since Fox News' inception. I find it interesting that those same people now don't seem to care so much when the "fake news" is something they agree with.

This is not the first time Trump has claimed criticism of him is fake news. Which makes me wonder why supposed reputable news organizations like Time don't go out of their way to make sure they're as far from fake news as possible?
You know Trump is going to call it fake news - even when it's not, so why not use a picture that actually depicts the issue instead of somethign that only helps Trump deflect by correctly calling it "fake news"?

Well, we're talking about Trump supporters. I've found that pretty much anyone that claims to be a supporter of any politican is prone to not believing the criticism of said politician.
