The big media CNN, New York Times and the others, fail at covering the US/Mexico border because they have no reporters who live here, and have lived here year after year.
The reporters fly in for a few days, let everyone know what an honor it is to be interviewed by them, and after folding up their makeup trays, they fly away.
They do spot interviews on a subject, romanticize the Border Patrol arresting some of the most desperate people on earth, or make racist Maricopa Co. Sheriff Joe Arpaio into a folk hero, rather than urging his prosecution.
Reporters arrive with a preconceived idea of the truth, based on the spin.
