Your latter point is my point really...

"Trump imposes Muslim ban" is a very different headline though to "Trump imposes tougher restrictions on "countries of concern" already identified by Obama administration."

Nothing in this world seems to actually get reported properly or responsibly any more and as a consequence there is a lot of hysteria based on spin and soundbites. Brexit has been the same. I don't agree with Trumps clumsy approach or indeed the blanket approach but it's also fair to say the reporting is not balanced.
