This was happening under Obama but the media only started covering it after Trump got elected. He also went after leakers and journalists more than any other president, if Trump tried the same thing the media would go wild.

B.S. It was regularly but infrequently covered during the Obama era, and regularly but infrequently covered during the Trump era.

Take an arbitrary year in Obama's second term, count the ratio of border freedom infringement stories to political stories on HN, and compare to the same ratio in 2017. I bet the Obama ratio is higher.
