I am wondering where the terrorist caravan is.It's been at the top of the news for weeks, and now nothing?
Well, coverage of the migrant caravan stopped on November 7.
Just like coverage of Weiner's laptop stopped November 9, 2016.
Just like coverage of Ebola stopped November 5, 2014.
The media's top story is whatever Republicans say it is. Every. Single. Time.

(11,885 posts)Has been complicit in promoting trumps propaganda and lies , showing him repeat his lying over and over again for profits. The American people will i guess have to start boycotting their sponsors to stop it. I do applaud those standing up and asking him hard questions about his corruption and lying.

That was a clear ploy. However, because I dont watch Fox, Ive no idea how far Trump went with it. If it was just his stupid rhetoric, okay, were stuck with that for the time being. If theres actual action, pressure to return those troops needs to be applied.

(4,103 posts)People like Karl Rove and now Trump toss it out there, and instead of ignoring it and focusing on the issues everyone cares about, they jump head first into the Republicans trap that is designed specifically to place a wedge between Democrats and swing voters and push it right into the headlines.
Say what you will about fuckbag McConnell, but whenever a devastating topic comes up for the GOP he's smart enough to say ... "we're not going to discuss this now, we'll discuss it after the election" whereas Democrats willful allow the Republicans to frame the discussion based on the topics Republicans want being discussed.

It is still out there though, ready to be called back into service when the racist dictator needs it.
