OK, I was looking at this Babylon Bee article:
https://babylonbee.com/news/breaking-white-house-involved-in-stunning-plot-of-murder-and-bribery-update-never-mind-it-was-during-the-obama-administration-deleting
Is this a reference to some actual Obama scandal or is it made up out of whole cloth? I don't watch the news?

Probably just a tip of the hat to the most unflattering "conspiracy theories" out there about Obama and Hillary.
Bidens bribe, Seth Rich being murdered etc.

Not unexpected. If it doesn't fit the narrative, lie, cheat, misdirect, misquote, obfuscate, conceal, or delete. If it doesn't fit the narrative, it's not news.

The surprising part is not that they disappeared the story, but that they admitted they were. It drew a lot more attention to their double standard, to the fact they only care about migrant children if they're politically useful, and to the fact that "caging" children is not unique to Trump's administration.

Well said. Better than mine:
"Use any lie, outrageous promise, or slanderous accusation to get elected. The end justifies the means, after all."
