Media Matters searched transcripts in the SnapStream video database for all original episodes of ABC’s Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and This Week; CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, and Face the Nation; and NBC’s Today, Nightly News, and Meet the Press, as well as all original programming on CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC, for any of the terms “Trump,” “former president,” “candidate,” or “nominee” within close proximity of any of the terms “remigration,” “re-migration,” “ethnic cleansing,” “resettlement,” “migrant invasion,” or “migrant flight” or any variation of the term “deport” from September 14, 2024, when GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump posted to social media that as president he will deport legal migrants in a process known as “remigration,” through September 30, 2024.

We also searched print articles in the Factiva database from the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post for any of the terms “Trump,” “former president,” “candidate,” or “nominee” within roughly the same paragraph as any of the terms “remigration,” “re-migration,” “ethnic cleansing,” “resettlement,” “migrant invasion,” or “migrant flight” or any variation of the term “deport” from September 14, 2024, through September 30, 2024.

We timed segments, which we defined as instances when Trump's post to social media that as president he will deport legal migrants in a process known as “remigration” was the stated topic of discussion or when we found significant discussion of the post. We defined significant discussion as instances when two or more speakers in a multitopic segment discussed the post with one another.

We also timed mentions, which we defined as instances when a speaker in a segment on another topic mentioned Trump's post without another speaker in the segment engaging with the comment, and teasers, which we defined as instances when the anchor or host promoted a segment about Trump's post scheduled to air later in the broadcast.
