So, the Hands Off protests got worldwide coverage. [View all]

And that’s the way such a large demonstration should be covered. But out of curiosity, I’ve been checking the FoxNews website regularly all day today. Until about 30 minutes ago there was not a single mention—not 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 didn’t 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 I’ve seen before. It’s 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 don’t even exist for your MAGA neighbors. And that’s a problem.
