And thats the way such a large demonstration should be covered. But out of curiosity, Ive been checking the FoxNews website regularly all day today. Until about 30 minutes ago there was not a single mentionnot one of these worldwide protests by millions of people.
There are a lot of people in the US that do not look at CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times or any other non-right wing news. For them, these protests didnt happen. They know nothing about them. They do not share the same reality with us.
Also today, there has been no coverage on the massive market crash caused directly by the Trumptariffs, just vague references to TSF the resolute leader staying the course.
Selective coverage has been an issue for a long time with the right wing news networks, but this is more blatant than anything Ive seen before. Its one thing to see the protests and disagree with them, or a stock market crash but blame someone else, but more and more often these things dont even exist for your MAGA neighbors. And thats a problem.

The Fox news cameraman was actually the only one I saw at our rally.

(54,783 posts)T-shirt at the protest today. In 2018 tRump came to the Mexican border so I attended a protest there and a nice person gave me a free t-shirt when I complimented hers. It's one of my favorites.

(9,212 posts)No coverage on msnbc/cnn/pbs? I am not surprised fn had none though. I am also not surprised if the others give limited coverage. They usually lean that way for anything anti psycho etc. It is so important to cover it widely. I wonder how we can change that.

(9,212 posts)This morning my brother and I watched a tiny bit of MJ and we were disgusted by the headlines they showed once again not calling out orange psycho and saying he caused the market to crash etc. I saw nothing about the rallies but we turned it off for quite a while.
