mainstream media support the lie that he won by a landslide when he only has 31% of the vote!

skywalker86.bsky.social•11 days ago

Stop watching trumps mainstream propaganda machine. It is all owned by the billionaires. What do you expect from them? DO NOT SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAY! Period.

growbagman.bsky.social•11 days ago

100% correct. If they don't get views that they require to survive, they fade out.
Let's bring the fade!

The New York Times deemed it worthy of p. A12. It said "thousands" of people attended.

rowdydawg.bsky.social•11 days ago

I thought @maddow.msnbc.com did a pretty good job of coving it. But she is back to only Monday’s.

cruzankenny.bsky.social•11 days ago

She and Chris Hayes are still there to keep liberals from boycotting MSNBC.

rowdydawg.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m interested to see if @jenpsaki.msnbc.com will do the the same. I like her POV from serving prior admins.

janehop.bsky.social•11 days ago

media coverage was practically non existent. I was as if an uprising of people in every large city and small town and rural crossroads was not news!! Shameful

vtmoderate.bsky.social•11 days ago

I remember the early days of the tea party. There might have been only 60 people at a demonstration but some were wearing funny hats with tea bags so the press covered them relentlessly.

elesw19.bsky.social•11 days ago

Shame on them. But organisers must also be media savvy, notifying local media in advance about what they are doing, who their main contact will be and even send in media content, ideally nice drone shots of large assembles, to make their jobs as easy as possible.

bluechristina.swifties.social•11 days ago

and I guarantee you could at least get drone shots shown by Meidas Touch, Bulwark, locals....

ffa1984.bsky.social•11 days ago

And those who covered them spoke in terms indicating these are just typical political disagreements common to any change in administration. None will come close to alarming the public by saying we have likely lost our Democracy.

Excellent. Thank you!!

waycooljr-62.bsky.social•11 days ago

Which is why "peaceful protests" will not work and will just be ignored. Only protests that are violent enough to lead to invoking the Insurrection Act and martial law will be noticed.

oaktownhappy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Which will also do absolutely nothing.

How many stories did the media do interviewing trump supporters in diners? Media is all right wing

oddmanout.bsky.social•11 days ago

We must assemble the largest protest ever for trump’s ridiculous military birthday parade. We must organize and block the parade route do it cannot take place and have hundreds of thousands of American citizens humiliate trump to his face.

bablogs.bsky.social•9 days ago

Can we get this guy?

oddmanout.bsky.social•9 days ago

Certainly the inspiration👍

funpo.bsky.social•11 days ago

My city, just north of Seattle, population 13K.. we had about 500 people attend. We hit 3.5%. The MS media isn’t reporting the truth or important stuff.

crissxapplesaus.bsky.social•11 days ago

Here’s hoping the fact that the GOP and that person occupying the White House refuse to see & accept the growing unrest/protest, they’ll have a false sense of approval that will surprise them & bite them in the backside if we manage to have another election. It just can’t come soon enough!!

diamondstar1962.bsky.social•11 days ago

Maybe we should protest in front of the news media buildings as well. 🤷‍♀️

adoboblue.bsky.social•11 days ago

Agree. They had little or nothing at all concerning the protests. They are afraid. Yet, if they are paying attention, they know that the constitution is on their side and they can fight back against tyranny, just like some law firms did.

nancygiabrown.bsky.social•11 days ago

Any estimates of total number of protestors from May 1st?

plutoaquariusrules.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think these consistent and growing actions on the streets are so important to let local, state, and fed know we are AGAINST what trump 2 is doing. Further to that I think they are actually TERRIFIED. Look at what started as small actions at tesla… they brought down the company sales by 71%.

blueheart2028.bsky.social•11 days ago

I agree with you, I think they are afraid.

Thank you 💙🦋

I must say maddow has been giving air to them

jujubeans411.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Chicago protest was MASSIVE and got almost zero MSM coverage - only *one* local paper printed an aerial shot, the rest (in print & on TV) were at the very beginning or very end when crowds were thin.

I wish more of our young people would start showing up. We can’t win this without them.

blueheart2028.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’ve been to 3 protests now. I noticed we don’t have any of our black citizens protesting. I think they’re fearful and I can’t blame them.

tripperday.bsky.social•11 days ago

Me either.

oacsm1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you… I fear they sold out to tRump. Very sad indeed. Grateful for the truth telling pod cast.

churchlady320.bsky.social•11 days ago

They started this by ignoring Biden's accomplishments, then Harris' statements and platform, now this. They ARE consistent. Monopoly control started in the 1970s. We could have stopped it then. But here we are.

cruzankenny.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thousands at a time protested George Floyd; you couldn't turn on a news channel without seeing the protests, and 'antifa' violence was supposedly everywhere.
Now we have millions of anti-fascist protestors, and nothing on the news.
It appears that only violence gets coverage.

givemefreedom.bsky.social•11 days ago

These marches and protests are amazing and happening everywhere. It doesn't seem to be making an impact on trump and his minions though. They just seem to ignore what the people are saying with these demonstrations and continue on with their vicious attacks on democracy.

jack1973.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you, Scott. I've been curious what the head count had been.

czarmikhail.bsky.social•11 days ago

20+ million hit streets across USA and no Main Street media coverage nationwide.
Donald controls media in USA.
Except he only controls what wealth owns.
Until they loose everything bolstering his image up.
Eventually what they bolster up must collapse under his weight.

@ABC @NBC @CBS @PBS those are the only ones worth listing

I attended the 4/5 protest in Montclair, NJ. There were a lot of people there in the rain. Most stayed later than the end time because it was announced that @booker.senate.gov would speak & he was running late. When he spoke, people responded.

mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Coverage of 4/5

Coverage? Where? Not that I’ve seen. Brooks made a somewhat snide comment on the protests a couple of weeks ago on npr.
