Why don't the news media report the reasons why migrants come to the UK on boats? (feddit.uk)

Or raise awareness to the criminal exploitation migrants suffer to just get a position on the boats

No, I've seen plenty of reporting on that. Never on the reasons they're trying to get a position in the first place though.

Well then, they don't report because the reason varies from migrant to migrant. Usually there will be a line or two in the report about where and possibly why, but anything past that means they have to interview someone who isn't in a position to be interviewed.
