As with inflation, the MSM bought into the GOP narrative on illegal immigrants in 2024. Day after day, we saw stories that focused on the hordes of asylum seekers crossing the border and their impacts on real Americans; the barbarities of Trump’s plans for raids and massive deportation camps received far less attention, since they were hypothetical at that stage. What can we expect once Trump is in office?
Three observations are pertinent here. First, the left-leaning MSM tend to focus on the problem of the day and miss the bigger picture, so I would expect them to run lots of poignant stories about the raids and the camps once they become a feature of everyday life. Second, the millions of Fox viewers will never see those stories and will be oblivious to them. Third, you can expect Trump to do his best to prevent the MSM from providing images of raids and the camps. I doubt he will have much success, but he is bound to try.
