The media is falling for Trump’s bait. Sad!
STUDY: Trump’s phony caravan “crisis” consumed Wash. Post, NY Times
The papers have produced 115 news stories referencing the caravan, putting 25 on A1

It is … sobering that, years after saturation “what about those emails???” coverage, both NYT and WaPo could be gulled into front-page focus on “caravan” “crisis” manufactured by Trump. (A few thousand people on foot, 1000 miles from US) @Sulliview was, and is, right on this https://t.co/AGWgPxmtYL

I wrote a column on caravan-coverage overkill almost two weeks ago. It’s only gotten worse. https://t.co/HjQGa4v9je

How many front page stories on climate change? What matters more to the future of our country – climate change or some caravan 1000 miles away? https://t.co/QjTJwkVUvu
