Media Discrepancy on Title 42 Rollback

 

Title 42 was enacted during the Trump presidency which allowed for authorities to expel migrants at the US border in order to stop the spread of Covid. However, on April 1st, the Biden Administration announced that it planned to lift title 42 which is set to end on May 23rd. Though a federal judge has just issued a temporary block on the Biden administration to rollback title 42. Fox and MSNBC both acknowledged the lack of support that Biden has on his plan to rollback title 42, though the rhetoric used and how they broke this issue down varied. Fox news slammed Biden for being a lawless president which they say is what Trump was always attacked for being. Fox also attacked the White House for how they downplayed the death of Bishop Evans by not accept responsibility for his death due to the lack of support for border security. MSNBC went for a more neutral approach with the only criticism being that it's hard to justify rolling back title 42 when the Biden administration wants to extend the mask mandate on flights.
