Hoping you're correct here that even the right wing propaganda machine is having trouble controlling this narrative particularly in the context of Margaret Sullivan's substack post this morning, "Defensive caution can’t compete with right-wing propaganda". It is difficult for journalists to be professionally responsible and match the RWPM which has no professional scruples, and whose duty is to get out how they want 'reality' to be seen. But perhaps - even in comparison to Ms. Good's murder - there's something different here. Paul Krugman comments this morning that besides the video evidence being less ambiguous in the Pretti case, the misogyny and anti-LGBTQI+ element isn't present. I've heard/read 'turning point' so often, I feel like Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football. Hopefully, this time Lucy finally doesn't pull the ball away.
That's definitely a limitation that could have shaped the results. (I don't know if that distinction was clear in the first few hours.) I did have other terms, such as "agent" and "agents" in the search, but didn't have "border" or "patrol" or "cbp". The other search I ran was just on Pretti's name and that one is overwhelmingly sympathetic to him as well. But I imagine there are other sections of the conversation where it leans more to the right's framings.

But it wasn’t ICE agents this time. It was Border Patrol. How does including the correct agency in the search parameters change the results?
