Hmmmm. I heard even Fox barely mentioned it for the past couple of days.
And it's been explained already by other posters in here. They are talking about it again today how they are on the move again and Trump is signing a new asylum law today. Geez, two days go by with no new news to report and you liberals are back on your conspiracy theories again.

Oh hell. Even REPUBLICANS and the NATIONAL REVIEW admitted that Trump and most of Fox were trying to use the caravan to gin up the base.
So stop acting like it's a surprise and shock. It's quite typical.
The caravan scare has always been a farce. It was all about fear. The Trumpist base are so easy to manipulate with fear that even lemming would find them gullible. Trump and his political operatives laugh in private at these patsies.
So until the next time Trump needs to ratchet up the fear,
let us hope Trumpers grow a pair.
This coming from who still thinks dem EEBIL Russians colluded with Trump..even though its been 2 years and there is NO EVIDENCE..but yeah..you have no idea about being a gullible lemming...

Right! We all know about the sell out Republicans in congress so what's your point? The National Review? Their opinions don't mean anything either. Did the outcome of the election change due to Trump supposedly getting his base into a frenzy to vote? Why don't you guys move on to some new conspiracy theory as the elections are over. Oh that's right, the presidential election has been over for 2 years now and yet you guys are still weeping and wailing.
In the meantime, there was some whining by The Left that the caravan is not being talked about. Their thought is, that it was only a distraction fabricated by Trump & Co. to get the base all riled up. And their claim is, it has been dropped by the media since it was all a scheme, anyway.
Here ya go: NPR Nov 8.
It's obvious that it was used as a fear tactic before the midterms and to some extent it worked, in exit interviews "immigration" moved up to the second most important issue to voters, that simply was not a coincidence.
The Trump/Fox News caravan hysteria suddenly fades after election
No surprise that Trump and Fox News have spoken far less about the caravan in the days after the election. One would think, if they truly thought this was a "national emergency", their attention on these migrants would be intensifying more each additional day as they got closer. That appeared to be the case UP UNTIL election day. Since then, the supposed caravan crisis has faded away even though the mogrants trek on. This pretty much confirms the thinking of many that this subject was just being hyped to gin up the base on the right for the election. As with the Russian interference in the 2016 election showed, stupid people can be easily manipulated via the different media sources.
Why isn't CNN, NBC, etc still covering it nonstop? Where is Jorge Ramos?
You missed the whole point of the question.
Fox News/Trump used the caravan as some fear mongering technique for the election.
The above networks covered the caravan because of that -- they didn't create the caravan story -- they followed it because Trump made it a story.
Trump dropped it -- so did they.
