"Comparing Biden and Trump's Border Visits: Dueling Immigration Policies"

Cable news channels CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News covered President Biden and former President Trump's visits to the U.S.-Mexican border, with Fox News dedicating most of its afternoon programming to the topic and dismissing Biden's visit as a cynical photo op. CNN and MSNBC played up the "Border Battle Up Close" angle, with CNN airing both men's remarks in full and MSNBC not carrying either live. The differing programming choices reflect the different lenses through which voters may experience news coverage of the campaign.
