Melissa Joskow / Media Matters Fox News is cynically seizing on a caravan of migrants moving through Central America toward the U.S. southern border to bolster President Donald Trump’s political position after he partially shut down the government to obtain funding to build a border wall. The effort comes just months after Fox aired dozens of hours of fearmongering coverage about another caravan in a failed attempt to help the Republican Party win the 2018 midterm elections. Fox & Friends hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade made the network’s strategy explicit during Wednesday’s broadcast.
