Not only are the legacy media committed to burying the horrific accident caused by an illegal alien truck driver making an illegal u-turn on the Florida Turnpike that led to the deaths of 3 persons. Now, they are also trying to hide the regulatory actions that are occurring as a result.
Per Fox News:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said, "effective immediately," he would pause the issuance of worker visas for commercial drivers after an illegal immigrant truck driver allegedly caused a crash that killed three people in Florida.
In a post on X, Rubio cited public safety for the move.
In Secretary Rubio’s own words:
Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers.

The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.
It should come as a shock to no one that none of the legacy evening newscasts covered these developments. Of course, doing so would force them to report on the underlying circumstances that led to the visa pause for foreign truck drivers in the first place- namely, the accident.
As our own Geoffrey Dickens noted, no one has yet covered the accident. Nor have they covered the driver's lack of English proficiency and knowledge of traffic signage. Per WPTV:
An English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment was given and Singh allegedly "failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."
None of this was reported on any legacy newscast tonight. However, ABC did find time to cover an accident that yielded no fatalities:
Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers.

The media have no problem reporting on vehicular accidents, so long as they aren't inconvenient to whatever the ongoing narrative might be. Or, in this case, the concealment of narrative.
