Why, all of a sudden, are MSNBC and MSM are mentioning protests?

[BigmanPigman]

They NEVER mentioned protests before (I keep track of this stuff) they actually occur and seldom mention them afterwards? Even when millions showed up at rally after rally they never covered our activist events. A few (about 5) even mentioned and covered the story before the protests. A few more mentioned it AFTER the NO KINGS June 14th protest, but still only a few.

I will never forgive or forget their lack of coverage!!! MSNBC, MSM, etc all SUCK and they are NOT our friends. They are ruled by greedy corporations and it is obvious. Fuck them!!!

On edit: Rachel is the exemption. I've saved all of her coverage of the various protests. I wish others had the guts to do this and not cower in fear of being fired by Big $$$$$ corporate media bosses.

1. MSNBC has covered protests since the beginning of the regime.

In particular, Rachel made a big deal of them nightly back when she was on five nights a week.

3. Agree

I get bored with the protests coverage...Rachel reported it to a fault IMO. It's not on MSNBC every minute of every hour but seems to me it's one of many topics mentioned multiple times daily. The upcoming No Kings day is getting a lot of broadcast time.

Most of MSNBC air time is devoted to the daily deluge of Trump and company crazy shit.

4. And MSNBC started having Ezra Levin (and sometimes Leah)

on for interviews many months ago.

I liked the daily snippets Rachel shared of protests (large and small) around the country. Quintessential grass roots - and love the creative signs.

6. Exactly

Rachel always covers the protests.

2. Lemme guess ... the theme was "will there be violence/destruction/civil disobedience" on Saturday?

That would certainly be par for the course of late

5. Because a big one is coming up. Last No Kings they were right there on the lines.

7. The media (with the exception of the right-wing slugs) are your friends.

There are tons of dedicated reporters (and editors) in the media. Don't judge all by the actions of a few. If you say the media isn't your friend, Donald Trump thanks you. That's what he's spewing. Remember, he wants you to distrust the media.

8. What? MSNBC has been there since the beginning & ever since in the persons of Rachel & Nicolle...

…and their guests.

As Rachel said just the other day, the “graybeard pundits” keep going on and on that the American people are doing nothing and seeing nothing, and she said, “Have they looked out the window?! “

9. Terry Schiavo protest were on constantly...

Tea party protest were always covered

What's new is the left is being covered
