So where did this story come from? Why was everyone screaming about immigration suddenly 70+ days into a policy change, decades into an unresolved border 'crisis'. Now with Trump amending his policy, they don't even have any change to complain about, they're shouting just about the unresolved state of immigration at the border same as its been under presidents going back to the 1980s. Lets remember that one week ago, we were talking about North Korea and the IG report. Two big topics that were casting Trump in a positive light and giving him good press. Then the entire media abruptly swerved into covering immigration with zero proximate spark. Its not like we had another school shooting and everyone talked about gun control- there was no event. It was just suddenly every media organization is trying to report on the same issue chosen out of a hat, based on changed that occurred months ago.

I've always been skeptical of the cultist's conspiracy theories, but if you told me George Soros instructed the media outlets he controls to stir up enough headlines to set the ball rolling and wipe Trump's good stories away with a news cycle of crying children to rile up the democratic base, I'd believe it this time around. I cannot accept that this suddenly abrupt shift in the news was not by design. Someone was behind this all. I am not a believer in spontaneous genesis.

But I thought all the coverage of North Korea(outside of Trump propaganda networks) was negative?

You've been teetering on the edge of Trump conspiracy theory land for a while... you might as well jump in with both feet. It'll be necessary to be on that side when more Mueller indictments start flying. :)

new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released Thursday finds that 55 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s diplomacy with North Korea, up from 42 percent in March and 34 percent last October. It’s the highest rating for the Republican president on any individual issue on an AP-NORC poll since his inauguration.

The media can control whats being covered and how they spin it, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can control how the public will react to it.
The fact is, Trump was polling better on his north korea policy than any other issue in his entire presidency;

If they wanted to run away from covering any news issue that could help trump, that would be the #1, and the OIG report wasn't exactly doing the anti-trump narrative any favors.


Really though, how did the sudden coverage of the border spring into being? Where did it start?
there are totally unnoticed articles for the past few weeks mentioning it and nobody paying any attention to them

Russia trolls and bots are at it again, this time taking advantage of a roiling controversy around immigration and family separation at the U.S. border, a prominent Republican senator said.

"Trolls and bots are still active on Twitter trying to deceive us," Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., tweeted Wednesday morning. "They’re even using the current family separation & immigration debate to sow discord among Americans. It is important for social media companies to expose it so everyone knows what is fake."

I'm like 85% sure Rogan is in on many times people shit on him

he does it in the UFC too with what I believe to be fake feuds where he allows others to bank on his name.

or I'm wrong and he's butt hurt Rogan pushes back on the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory (one that actually damaged Jones a bit)
