If the positive trends continue, will the media even notice?

Interesting timing on this editorial because yesterday was the first day that the Biden administration processed out more unaccompanied children than entered the system.

Now the big question is whether, if the positive trends continue, will the media even notice?

Sorry to say, but the old adage "If it bleeds, it leads" is the norm for US media.

It takes time for the new admin to really affect these processes. Looks like they are making some slow progress.
