MSNBC Finally Spots a Border Crisis, but Not the One You Think
 
By Jerry Kammer on May 6, 2019

This blog has been keeping track of how MSNBC and Fox are dividing the country into opposing news colonies with vastly different world views. It's clear that both organizations have a business plan that aims to reflect the biases of their very different audiences. MSNBC, of course, leans hard left and anti-Trump. Fox, with a few exceptions in its afternoon programming, seems to have joined the communications team of the Trump 2020 presidential campaign.

For the past several months, I have been recording both MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and "Fox and Friends", both of which combine some straight news reporting with plenty of ideologically slanted banter. Lately it has been fascinating to observe the contrast between Fox's fixation on the crisis of Central American asylum seekers storming the borders and MSNBC's apparent decision to ignore the story almost completely.
