A trip that should've taken about 100 days on foot will magically end about 3 weeks after it started, the weekend before Election Day, when liberals hope that media images of crying children being ripped from the arms of their crying mothers by U.S. Border Patrol agents will swing the election for the Democrats.
Right, this is a magical media production. We’re getting a stage play with zero backstory.
I’d like to see someone like Breitbart send a reporter down there to snoop around. He could ask a person in the caravan stuff like:
— are you mostly walking or mostly riding a bus?
— what is a typical day like for you?
— who contacted you about joining the caravan?
— how much preparation was there prior to leaving?
— what organization is coordinating this?
— who gives the participants the daily agenda?
— are you being paid?
— when are you going to arrive at the USA?
— what’s the plan once you get there?
— have you been given any instructions on how to speak with reporters?
It would be interesting to see the staging areas prior to the arrival of the caravan. What kind of preparations are going on and who’s doing it? Is it gringo NGO types or locals? A reporter could look for manager/coordinator/staff types and see what they have to say. Also talk to people in support roles like bus drivers and food vendors. What do they know?
Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the back story/bigger picture I wouldn’t think. It’s just strange how this huge thing is kind of hiding in plain sight. Then again maybe there’s some good independent reporting going on that I’m not aware of.
Even details like the food. Are they getting uniform daily meal packets distributed from the back of supply trucks? Or are they relying on local food vendors somehow? This would be an interesting indicator of level of organization and preplanning.
Do the water bottles the caravaners are carrying all look the same, as though they were purchased in a huge bulk order? Who are the suppliers?
And how is the trash being handled? I would think 5,000 people would typically leave a wake of trash behind them unless it were carefully managed. How is this being worked?
Media presents only the photos and narrative beneficial to their agenda.
Photo of trucks transporting the “walking caravan”
I see pics of pickup trucks that some Mexicans used to help some of the migrants across the Guatemala/Mexico border. But there must be buses somewhere.
Interesting footwear in the pics. Women in flimsy sandals. Chubby families in rubber crocs with no socks. I have a hard time believing these people could even walk ten miles.
We get these tight, stagey camera shots. Even the aerial video of the crowds on the bridge is tightly cropped and edited. I wanna see pics ten miles ahead of the caravan and ten miles behind it. That’s where the story is. That’s where the advance teams and the cleanup crews are doing their work, the setup and teardown for this production.
BTW, it’s interesting to note in the comments that the lefties think the caravan is Trump’s doing. They’re sensing the huge backfire potential of this thing.
I’m confident Trump is on top of this and will use it to his advantage. As he has done for virtually every other issue or crisis the left has thrown at him.
