When Erick Erickson is right, he’s right.

And boy howdy, is he ever right about how the media has been covering the border situation …

Take a look.

One reason people are screaming at each other (besides it being Twitter) over immigration is that the media is doing such a poor job accurately describing what is happening and why it is happening. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Of course, this could be said about any issue the media seems to cover, but it seems especially ugly when it comes to immigrant children being separated at the border from their families, and a good deal of that angst comes from the way media is covering it.

Now I realize a lot of reporters are going to get defensive, as they always do when you point this stuff out, but they're focused on the unjustness of the situation & failing to note what the law is, how it's been implemented in the past, & citing old data on illegal immigration — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

They’re focused on their narrative.

But fair point.

For example, there's been a large influx of illegal immigrants in the past year, but much of the media is still recycling stories on how the numbers are down because of Trump. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Because you know, Trump is super racist and evil and stuff.

Likewise, they are failing to note that the old policy was to essentially treat illegal immigration as a parking ticket and let people go with a court date and they didn't show up. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Catch and release, anyone?

The Trump Administration is treating it as a crime, which is what most Americans think. And the media has done a terrible job explaining this, largely I think because the reporters disagree and know most Americans do agree. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Remember what we said earlier about their narrative?

Ding ding ding.

Additionally, the media is doing a poor job of distinguishing between unaccompanied minors, minors coming with adults not their parents, and minors with their parents. They're lumping them all in together. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

They have to, otherwise, there really isn’t a story. No outrage.

The media is also failing to document how Mexican cartels are encouraging a stampede at the border to overwhelm the border so they can infiltrate with drugs, etc. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Bingo.

The American media has also done a spectacularly dismal job at noting Mexico is collapsing as a state and destabilizing the entire border situation, which is another reason the Trump Administration is cracking down. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Y'all, I think the policy of separating kids from parents is immoral, but the media is so busy being part of La Resistance, that they are not presenting a full picture. They're only presenting information skewed in one way to incite people. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

And they know incited people are more likely to click and tap a story.

Hey, we get it.

Time and again of recent days, the media has engaged in a terrible level of elitist tribalism and has presented partial pictures as full pictures. Is it any wonder the American public distrusts the media so much? — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 18, 2018

Preach!
