The Spin

Narrative A

Last week’s shipwreck involving hundreds of migrants was an absolute tragedy, but shame on those trying to blame Greece for the events that transpired. Greek authorities have worked tirelessly with other European and international organizations to rescue as many people as possible and to right the wrongs of evil human traffickers. The “experts” at these non-governmental organizations have no solutions for handling a crisis in which thousands of people are taking life-threatening journeys to illegally enter a destination country.

Breitbart

Narrative B

It may be easy for European leaders to deflect blame onto “evil” smugglers for the tragedies involving migrants, but there is a lot more involved. Greek authorities are the latest European officials to callously ignore the life-threatening problems of a boat traveling in their waters, putting hundreds of lives in jeopardy. The fact that smugglers may take innocent people doesn’t absolve the responsibility to save the people in danger, and Greek officials are ignoring their duty.
