  • I googled this because I was curious...
    https://www.foxnews.com/world/migrant-caravan-gets-within-reach-of-border-what-happens-now

    3 hours ago.  So the media is listening.
    An article on their website is akin to wall to wall coverage with reporters embedded with the "invaders?"
    As recently as Monday this was supposedly a crisis the required us sending 15,000 troops down there as soon as possible. 

    Trump hasn't tweeted about it since before the election. His supporters are suckers. 
    I should have been clearer that I was agreeing w you.  Funny how that all media outlets were noticing "no coverage" on the caravan and reporting the same thing you said then boom, there's finally a story.

    It is interesting that only Fox is still running a story and even more interesting that no other media outlets are too.

    You were right.  It was a huge political ploy on both sides...  No one really gives a shit about the caravan.


    How was it a political ploy on both sides? One side blatantly lied and exaggerated the threat leading up Tuesday while the other side talked about health care, and the economy. 
    Can't they both?

    Every news source was following it because Trump brought it up.  News sources were discussing why it is important that we do something.  They went and interviewed the migrants in central America then after the election, everyone stopped reporting on it.

    You even said it was a political ploy and I agree with you.  Both sides got what they wanted from it.

    1-to put Trump as an unemphatic person towards the plights of the migrants.
    2-to show that an "invasion" was coming and to be scared.

    Trump stopped tweeting and the media stopped caring.

    It's what I thought you were getting to?  Am I wrong?
    I was talking about the politics of it. When you said political ploy on both sides I thought you meant democrat and republican. It was a ploy by the president and the republicans and fox news carried their water with non stop coverage. The other channels were forced to cover it some because of what the president said but none gave it nearly the attention that fox did.


    When my feed has news stories from the BBC and the Times with titles that say "The Migrant Caravan and why it matters" it means that they did care and wanted to thumb it back at Trump.

    Just what I gathered that Trump stopped tweeting and the rest of the world stopped caring.

    If the other news media outlets thought this was a fight worth supporting(the caravan) then why did they stop on a dime reporting also?

    I think you are giving each side too much credit.

    But honestly, the migrant caravan doesn’t need to be reported on daily. It’s a group of people moving on foot, so not that much changes from day to day. It became news because Trump made it so, and more sane voices needed to counteract the narrative of fear. Now that that narrative has mysteriously dropped, there’s no need to write factual articles about the same thing again and again.

    The sides I am talking about are the Republican Party (and their state run media, Fox) and the democrat party. Not totally sure what your point is. 

    As of Monday, Fox had reporters embedded within the caravan and they were broadcasting live at the border while the president would not shut up about how this invasion was getting closer and closer to our country. Now? It’s hardly getting any attention on the news and the president hasn’t even really talked about it since the election. It was a political con job perpetrated by the president and his allies on Fox.

    Deployed Inside the United States: The Military Waits for the Migrant Caravan

    With little electricity, no combat pay and holidays away from home, the 5,600 American troops on the southwest border are on a mission ordered by a politically determined commander in chief and a Pentagon unable to convince him of its perils.

    I’m just reading this now on the paper version of the NYT during a leisurely Sunday breakfast. I didn’t realize that it’s illegal for US troops to enforce US immigration law. There is basically nothing these troops are allowed to do other than logistical support, which the National Guard is already doing. 

    And this is projected to cost about $200 million.

    Seriously?  So if you want real immigration reform and actual borders/rules you don't think it's murder when someone in the country illegally gets killed?

    You're drawing your own conclusions there.  It was self evident that he doesn't value an immigrant life less than a citizen.

    Except when conservatives talk about immigration reform, they're talking about structural racism.  Specifically, they want to pass laws to keep brown people out, make it difficult for brown people to become citizens after they are here, and give wypipo an excuse to treat all brown people like second class citizens.  

    The right isn't serious about immigration reform because they get a better return on investment by blowing the old dog whistle.
