The racist exploitation of Austin Metcalf's killing shows how MAGA tears local communities apart
The article from Yahoo News discusses the intense focus of MAGA (Make America Great Again) media on the Texas border situation, highlighting how conservative media outlets like Fox News and Newsmax are fixating on the issue to stoke fears and rally their base. It points out that these outlets are framing the border situation as a crisis, with frequent coverage of migrant caravans and alleged crimes by immigrants, often without providing full context or balanced reporting. The article suggests that this coverage is strategically used to distract from other political issues and to maintain viewer engagement by playing into existing fears about immigration. It also notes that this narrative is being pushed despite data showing a decrease in illegal border crossings, indicating a disconnect between the media portrayal and the actual situation on the ground.
