All the airtime in the world for illegal immigration is of little use to the CBS and FOX audiences
Regarding top concern #6, it can be confirmed that both networks gave the issue enough airtime in their top news stories (2.6 percent on CBS, 3.8 percent on FOX) for their viewers to feel that their concerns were being addressed. However, neither network makes much of the fact that the crisis has been steadily defused since Obama. It seems grotesque for Trump to blame his successors for what he himself - from the perspective of CBS and FOX - did not do better.
The 'Unlearning Intolerance' master classes initiated by Ramu Damodaran at the UN in New York since 2005 have obviously not yet contributed to a better understanding of the situation.
While CBS and FOX focus their coverage on illegal immigration, the reality is that while the number of illegal immigrants almost quadrupled from 3.5 million to 12 million under the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the measures introduced by Barack Obama have had an effect and led to a decline. However, listening to the current election campaign on this issue, it feels like the country is back to where it was 25 years ago.
