It's been about three weeks since CNN reporter Jim Acosta repeatedly told President Trump at a news conference that the migrant caravan is "Hundreds and hundreds of miles away" and "Not an invasion." Acosta strenuously objected to a Trump ad that showed migrants climbing border walls: "They're not going to be doing that."
Now, thousands of migrants from the caravan have arrived in the border city of Tijuana, Mexico.
Trump relied too heavily on the caravan as an issue in the midterm election, but the last week has showed that his critics were wrong to sneer.
In the immediate aftermath of the election, when Trump didn't talk about the caravan as much and Fox News covered it less, liberal commentators were outraged.
With the weekend's border incident bringing new attention, liberal outlets are back again complaining that Fox is covering the caravan too much.
Trump has been wrong to portray the migrants as inherently threatening; the overwhelming majority just want a better life.
If any significant portion of the caravan gains entry, it will send a message that large-scale movements of people are better than small groups.
