Yet you don't know how many saw it. We know that it was enough for it to get all over the internet spread by other far left wing sources. That is the way FAKE NEWS works. It is out there and can not be called back.

I havn't seen one media report saying that the little girl in the photo was separated from her parents.

Neither have I - I haven't checked too far, but I suspect it's a Right Wing thing.

I did find one site talking about the Time cover, and it definitely said the child hadn't been separated.

How could she become the symbol of immigration if it was not reported?

http://patterico.com/2018/06/22/viral-photo-of-girl-separated-from-parents-turns-out-to-show-girl-who-had-not-been-separated/

The widely shared photo of the little girl crying as a U.S. Border Patrol agent patted down her mother became a symbol of the families pulled apart by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy at the border, even landing on the new cover of Time magazine.

The heart-wrenching image, captured by award-winning Getty Images photographer John Moore, was spread across the front pages of international newspapers.

The news that this one fake photo created a fake narrative of a separated child should not be used to distract us from the very real fact that Big Media has created a fake narrative about a “separation policy.”

Look at that list and explain to me, if you can, why so many outlets had to explain the girl was not separated from her mother if the picture was not widely distributed with a false narrative.

The photo shows a distressed child in a stressful situation with her mother and a Border Patrol agent. Lot's of people jumped to the wrong assumption. Consequently, many organizations corrected those false assumptions.

It would be more than a full time job to try to correct everyone's false assumptions.
