Time magazine ridiculed on Twitter over false child separation report

Published



Time magazine was widely criticized Friday after it depicted immigrant family separation with a photoshopped cover of a girl who was never separated from her parents, and falsely reported that the girl was separated within the story.

The two-year-old Honduran child was photographed crying while her mother was being detained, but it was confirmed that she was never separated from her mother. Several people responded on Twitter to express their disgust with the cover and the story, and many called it “fake news.”
