The US media is clearly not a fan of No Kings.

[NewHendoLib]

The Guardian has it prominently on their website. CNN has it buried far down the page. WRAL in Raleigh seems to have already shoved it down the memory hole.

Just another thing we are up against - don't piss off the king.

1. If they had any integrity and did their jobs in the first place, No Kings wouldn't need to happen.

2. US media is going to go the way of the rotary phone in a couple of years at this rate.

AI driven social media is soon going to be dictating what the malleable masses will think and “know.”

3. Too huge to go unnoticed

Certain media can try and rub out this event, but at the end of the day tens of millions from one end of the country to another were able to witness the magnitude of this event in their own communities.

4. We the people are the only thing that threatens the fascist hold the Uber rich owned media has over US and the gov

They know that when the class war comes their gated sanctuaries, military bases will not protect them when the shit hits the fan. The shit will hit when Russian agent orange makes elections irrelevant.

5. Raleigh's WRAL is too busy with coach/sports drama.

[Ocelot II]

6. Have you tried looking?

[quaint]

7. Take a look at DU home page.

[SheltieLover]

8. Right & lying about numbers. Few thousand my ass.

[TBF]

9. The mainstream media is owned by billionaires -

I don't watch any of that anymore. I do check out the Wall Street Journal to see what they're up to (the ultimate paper of the capitalists), but I've decided to support the indy media on Substack instead.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. For the first time in YEARS

they DID blank out CPAC yesterday and earlier this week, and that has ALWAYS been a media lovefest but overall shitshow, and that was thanks to No Kings!

[kimbutgar]

11. The NBC evening news last night showed coverage from all over the US

[mucifer]

30. NBC five minute top of the hour radio news

Acknowledged over three thousand protests and 8 million protesters They even interviewed a protester who was upset about the Iran war.

They usually are busy normalizing the trump crap. Today was better.

[llmart]

12. I have nothing to back this up statistically but...

I am quite certain that generations younger than 80 never watch TV or mainstream nightly news programs, and even in my age group of cohorts that are 60 and 70 they get their news from various internet sites. Yes, that can be good or bad, but at least there are many more outlets than ABC CBS NBC CNN that they're exposed to.

[ChicagoTeamster]

13. People need to flood phone lines of the daytime news show like meet the press to ask why they're not covering it more

[onethatcares]

14. nothing on the spectrum front web page either

it's like 3000 citizens and their opinions didn't exist.

[bagimin]

15. Sun-Sentinel is doing there part, as usual

[radical noodle]

16. It was all over MSNow yesterday

and CNN was full of No Kings stories last night when I checked.

[FakeNoose]

17. All the local papers in each US city are covering these rallies

Why waste time looking at CNN? Who cares what the toadies cover anyway ....

[Amaryllis]

21. Local media covered it very well in Portland;

[gulliver]

18. Protests are usually bad for their causes

But I'm all for people getting out in the sun and getting some oxytocin.

[Playingmantis]

19. ABC Covered it as lead story

And spent a lot of time on it

[barbtries]

20. it's pathetic

I just watched some of the coverage from WRAL and WTVD. Saw the helicopters from them both during the protest in Durham.
Both made sure to push out propaganda from krasnov and company as part of the coverage, and downplayed the numbers. Disgusting.

[Lemon Lyman]

22. 100%

Yet they glazed every tea party hissy fit, not matter the size. Fox and other rw sh*thold media sets the tone...they decide what's going to be covered, then the rest of the mainstream ("liberal&quot media follows suit. Look how much time and energy EVERY outlet spent on kirk. You think a liberal podcaster would get THAT coverage. Pffft!

[orangecrush]

23. Not what I'm seeing

USA Today "No Kings" story and others top result when I searched "Breaking news".

Stop with this defeatist stuff, please.

[Ford_Prefect]

24. 8 million people is only a number to them. Roughly the size of Washington or Virginia. Imagine if one of those were to

declare independence from the US. How would that be characterized?

In terms of polling for politics or policy it is a very significant number.

Typical polls for approval of a policy, party, or president interview 1200 to 2000 individuals. Although they are selected and sorted for various factors it is rather a small number to judge an entire population on. To the people who depend on TV advertising to sell groceries, soap, insurance and all sorts of other items these are significant numbers.

IMO given the proportional relationships which underly polling 8 million should be a very firm indication if not an outright fact.

No?

[Rebl2]

25. I know two

of my local stations covered our local NKMarch’s and it was the top story. I live close to a state line and there were several marches on both sides of the state line.

[harumph]

26. AP covered it under US (it wasn't on their splash page - at least not early this am)

[1WorldHope]

27. Our local paper, The Lincoln Journal Star, buried the article as well.

The front page was all about the Spring Football game. And the journalist just can't make good estimates. They always write that hundreds and hundreds were there. Last year we had over 5,000. This year more like 2 thousand. I called the paper and told them that, while the article was well written, the journalist vastly underestimates every time, and that the football game was not the most important event in Lincoln yesterday. Sure we are in Nebraska, but, cars full of people going to that game were hanging out the windows and honking their approval as they drove by our protest. We will not be silenced!

[travelingthrulife]

28. They learned this during Bush II's illegal war. If you don't report about them it is like they

never happened. Millions of people in the streets against the war, but what you saw on media was 30 people at a tea party. with 40 portapotties.

[PATRICK]

31. Back then

they got caught out(no great consequence except educationally for us) in determined fashion downsizing all protest numbers just about each time there was another media release or new outlet. From many thousands etc etc down to some hundreds for example. And even when the Tea Party was snarked at they got immense coverage and no investigation or criticism or number emphasis. Some of those AH's were cosplay actors trundled around the country for any GOP purpose.

[dem4decades]

29. Is it true that if you report a positive story on Democrats at CBS you get fired?
