National TV news media largely ignored Trump's mass deportation plan despite the RNC's immigration focus
Published
During the third night of the 2024 Republican National Convention, speakers celebrated Donald Trump's deportation promise, with “Mass Deportation Now” signs handed out to the crowd, highlighting hardline immigration measures as a critical issue for the GOP platform.
Yet broadcast news networks, as well as Fox News and CNN, barely covered the deportation plan during and right after the convention. MSNBC was the only network to give Trump’s alarming plan due coverage, airing at least 22 segments about it.
