Can’t believe our media companies had the budgets to fly crews and hosts and reporters all the way to Singapore to cover Trump’s stagecraft, yet refuse to send staff to our own southern border to record these ongoing atrocities to humanity.

The answer is zero times until this week. I see all the media. I am keeping a list that is being archived in the LoC as the first draft of history in the era of Trump. This story of a historical American atrocity was not properly covered until this week. Now get off my feed.

"I see all the media." My list is "the first draft of history." "Get off my feed." Maybe tone it down just a notch? I respect your aggregation -- I just don't think you should insult folks whose work you aggregate.

Hey Brian since you’re reading your TL please stop reading Trump’s tweets on TV. You are spreading his propaganda. Thanks

i'll be discussing this on tomorrow's
@ReliableSources :) -
Yes....and use the sandwich model that psychologist have suggested for mitigating effects of Trumps constant lying. There's an awful lot of science on how the brain works. There is a way to combat the lies and STILL inform the citizens of what's happening.

Good suggestion, attach a link for Brian to read.

Brian, you're pulling a Haberman by cherry picking one line from the tweet and using it to obfuscate Amy's point. Her point was separations have been going on for 6 weeks and only now has the media noticed vs. Breathless coverage of the Singapore Scam
-
that's not what she said. also, what you said is not true either. the policy change WAS covered in april (didn't get enough attention) and it started receiving more coverage at the end of may.
-
Brian, you're taking the word "noticed" at its literal meaning. Of course the media covered these events, but as an aside instead of the laser focus its receiving now. Citizens rely on the media to be adversarial, not access seeking.
-
she said they "refuse to send staff to our own southern border to record these ongoing atrocities to humanity." almost every major news outlet (CNN, NYT, ABC, NBC, Reuters, etc) is spending $$$ to have reporters covering this story.

@brianstelter Who decides what stories are covered during each program? From hour to hour, the coverage is the same, with different faces doing the talking.@michelleisawolf hit on this, with 24 hours of coverage, why do we get the same 4 stories all day long? (1/2) -
It is discouraging that Puerto Rico coverage is still a rarity, yet Roseanne and Samantha Bee was wall to wall. Who makes those choices? We are hungry for substance, and being fed inflated outrage with twitter as the most frequent primary source. (2/2)
-
The Roseanne cancellation was weeks ago. It was a big story. It lasted about 36 hours. So that's not really a relevant example.

You need to admit there has been more coverage on Singapore/Roseanne/Trump tweets than on detention centers.
-
you're grouping 3 totally different stories together. that's an impossible comparison to make.

Brian, where are the reports? Every news station leads with TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. Why aren't there LIVE SHOTS in front of these every damn day. Demands for responses from MOC? Demands for Accountability. MSM fell down on every aspect of Trump coverage. Maybe get this one right!

This is no time for defensive righteous indignation. This crisis has clearly and unambiguously NOT received the attention it merits. Someone is clearly making prioritization decisions based on factors other than newsworthiness and significance.
