Tufts University student arrest generates 10x more coverage from legacy news than MS-13 gang leader: study

  • On March 26, ICE detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk for allegedly supporting Hamas, which received 119 minutes and 18 seconds of media coverage across major networks.
  • In contrast, the arrest of MS-13 leader Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos received only 11 minutes and 42 seconds of coverage, with some networks not reporting on it at all.

  • Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters, highlighted that the coverage disparity indicates that the media may prefer one narrative over another.
