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.

Where are you getting your info from? Several major networks and all the major papers have done excellent reporting from the border region this week. Touring kids facilities, etc. Can you tell me who's "refusing?"

I have been covering these atrocities for weeks now on The Weekly List - whatever reporting I can find, mostly from WAPO (thank you) - and only in the last couple of days has our media been starting to cover more actively. Vs. the shameful propaganda-like coverage of Singapore.

Reporters have been actively covering these issues for several weeks. https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2018/05/27/missing-migrant-kids-how-the-story-went-viral-rs.cnn … It's just not true to claim that media companies are "refusing to send staff" to the border, as you wrote.

Do me a favor - go through the CNN evening line-up last week, starting with Erin’s show and on, and count the number of stories about zero tolerance and migrant children. Or the week prior. This has been going on for 6 weeks. If you covered it every hour, I’d be wrong.

You can do your own research. My point is simple: You're wrong that news outlets are "refusing to send staff." It's really insulting to the reporters who are working so hard there. If you want MORE coverage, advocate for that! But let's not mislead people about the media

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.

Fair enough. My next question then is will we have coverage for a week like Puerto Rico and move on after Trump says something or will this be sustained? If it becomes like the media's handling of Puerto Rico, that would be shambolic.
