This doesn't look like a "caravan". It looks like protestors in the street. Would not a caravan have belongings in tow? I see nothing but people with signs and others similarly unburdened by luggage.

WaPo, LA Times, and Reuters are all reporting that there is a caravan. How big is different. Many sources, including local Fox affiliates are reporting 4-5K. The Guardian says 15k and apparently, Fox is saying 10K. New York Post says 4K.

From the reporter reference top left, the city of Tapachula is in the state of Chiapas, the city is on the border to Guatemala.

My uneducated guess is that Mexican authorities are blocking the way for some caravan and the migrants are protesting.

more research pending....

Comment: i remember from the pre-covid caravans that the organizer would be running trucks ahead or after the marching crowd to provide some minimal infrastructure.

Fox News makes it official: It will NOT show Thursday's 1/6 hearing like all the other major networks. Tucker Carlson's show will air as usual. Carlson promotes conspiracy theories about the riot, calls the committee "illegitimate," and ridicules the committee members.

Does Tucker have any look than the one of being constipated in need of a laxative?

I guess he doesn’t like being treated just like every inmate at ever jail ever and being strip searched like the common inmates. If he didn’t want to be strip searched he should’ve showed up in response to the subpoenas. I call bullshit on the no water, they have a toilet sink in every cell. Food you have to be in your cell at meal times or no meal.

He probably loved the bend over etc…. :violin:

Fox News ran 1,098 primetime segments on Benghazi from the day of the attack until the committee hearings, which they carried live for more than 7 hours.

Today they announced they won’t cover the hearings on the January 6th insurrection.
