My thoughts are that I don't consider Faux News a particularly reliable source.

A) It's an opinion piece.
B) It's from a clearly biased "news" site. (Granted, the number of unbiased news sites has been dwindling for years; I've found the least biased are not from this country, but still.)

Good day:
Other news sources are reporting it. Did you know the major networks avoided the VA scandal? So if Fox News cannot be relied upon, whom should we trust? The stations that don't report the news? The stations that show their liberal bias every time they do report news?
Thank you.

Fix news is going to report things with an extreme conservative bias just as MSNBC with report with a liberal bias ("fix" was total typo, but I will let it stand). For less biased reporting, I prefer CNN or BBC.

It is hard to identify what is real or not real since this is an opinion piece.
Without knowing what their confidentiality agreements stated nor what their exact role and relationship is considering this is taking place at a US military base I am not sure what to think.
We all know what the diseases these medical staff are talking about, we see them everyday in any inner city hospital with a large immigrant (illegal or legal) population so I do not know what the big deal is.

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.
In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans.

Such a crazy story! Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what is the purpose of housing these children in the U.S. if they are illegal immigrants, or the purpose of flying them around the country??

The big deal is we are paying and the secrecy.
