Remember the Tea Party coverage the networks gave to a hand full of screaming lunatic tea baggers? WTF

mchemar.bsky.social•7 days ago

Let's see how they cover the next one!

12collies.bsky.social•7 days ago

I didn't expect coverage since the networks are scared.
BUT all of us who came out and held our signs high and spoke out, knew WE WERE THERE! And the millions of WE THE PEOPLE are only BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Amen!

johnmccombscomedy.bsky.social•7 days ago

They don’t care until shit starts getting lit on fire unfortunately. Then by that point people only focus on the violence, not the message.

evalockhart.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yup. Corporate overlords just hate when the masses awaken and take to the streets. They better hope we don't have pitchforks and torches the next time.

cencalmike.bsky.social•6 days ago

Imagine Fox producers and writers trying to come up with explanations for these demonstrations that don’t include every single one of their stars being complicit in the Trump disaster.

hotguts1953.bsky.social•6 days ago

They need to try another business. They are failing at this one.

cassimro04.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think you might have to break something.🤷

mattg53.bsky.social•7 days ago

Afraid of what?

tingading.bsky.social•6 days ago

They didn't cover because there wasn't violence. They say "nothing to see here" 😡

jcgirl.bsky.social•7 days ago

I wondered why no one was there from TV. Even tho I live in Fremont, CA.

By the way Don Winslow, my husband and I listened to 3 of your books while driving to Cabo and back from here. Excellent!!

cicidesign.bsky.social•7 days ago

Absolutely chilling to open the NYT this morning (4-6-25) online and see zero coverage about the MILLIONS of people that protested across the entire country yesterday. Absolutely shocking. I thought NYT was a holdout against fascism but obviously NOT. Time to drop NYT and go to Meidas and Bluesky.

berkley14.bsky.social•7 days ago

The news has their heads up their asses

febgirl.bsky.social•7 days ago

I totally agree! I was looking for coverage all day and couldn’t find anything on television except 2 minute clips

maybeo.bsky.social•7 days ago

Were we too peaceful? Are they sending us the message that only violence will get covered? I sincerely hope not.

celestedenier.bsky.social•7 days ago

5 million people, mostly white people, on purpose, in the streets on a Spring Saturday. 1000+ protests. Enough news for year! Watch out. The next one is April 19. ✌️

teesa3.bsky.social•7 days ago

I thought San Antonio media dropped the ball because they were focused on Final 4 coverage, and they expected our protest to be "too small" to deserve their time. I'm honestly saddened to know other cities were ignored, too. Unbelievable.

epiphanie.bsky.social•7 days ago

their turn will com
we have to choose our battles

jbjhawk.bsky.social•7 days ago

The media is bought off

dendamen.bsky.social•6 days ago

🧐 hmmm ….let me guess…. Fox News?

vaxtheworld.bsky.social•7 days ago

The major networks probably felt the protests were not "breaking news" enough to warrant not keeping their contractual obligations, mostly to weekend sports coverage.

trumphatingvet.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well these were peaceful protests, not an armed invasion of our nation's capitol, incited by a treasonous president.
I saw quite a bit of daytime coverage on CNN & MSNBC as well as evening coverage on our local and mainstream networks.

I never watch Fox News but do hear they basically ignored it!

iahtime.bsky.social•7 days ago

The left protesting peacefully is not nearly as interesting as watching the right protest like monkeys climbing over everything and getting violent.

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good point lol

irisheyes143.bsky.social•7 days ago

How do "yell" at them? How do we make them so their JOBS and report the news?

brian49047.bsky.social•7 days ago

News channels and broadcast channels need to be a focus on consumers/advertisers sooner or later for bending their knee to the chief clown.

redbear76.bsky.social•7 days ago

A general strike will get coverage.

adambxurbanwarrior.bsky.social•7 days ago

they are quivering cowards
there
fixed it
go substacks for news coverage

democracyin2025.bsky.social•7 days ago

I've been to two now, each with thousands of people.

I did not see a single reporter at either of them. In any other time -- thousands of people waving signs at a busy intersection -- they would have been all over it.

sickofbull.bsky.social•7 days ago

Keep doing what they are doing. A lot of people don't have basic television just internet. I've seen quite a lot of these protests. Keep up the great work! Maybe by the time it gets really massive, and it will, they will start covering. I don't think you need them.

lhaney321.bsky.social•6 days ago

But it doesn’t mean it wasn’t impactful. I heard an interview where the police officers said that they only had 44 officers out because they didn’t think it was going to be as big as it was. I’m feeling much love for everybody right now… at least for The People ‘s Movement.

jah549ann.bsky.social•7 days ago

Exactly 👍🏻

vamomof2boys.bsky.social•6 days ago

I believe the Tide is starting to turn but you are correct - they didn't cover out of fear - How they can fear that maniac is beyond me... Once it begins to shift they will all be more
eager to cover his downfall...right now they are chickens
and are afraid of the blowback

anoukmbt.bsky.social•7 days ago

TV news exces like violence - it’s like fires - it gets better ratings if they show something on fire (rather than an explanation of an important event that affects millions of people)

mrunclegeorge.bsky.social•6 days ago

only reason I know about the scale of the protests is because of social media, very little coverage on the reg news, that's not good.

jaykay941.bsky.social•6 days ago

They all capitulated when trump won. They bent the fucking knee. Now they are doing his dirty work.

blueblondie48.bsky.social•7 days ago

Because no one was scared or shot or storming buildings.

mcham44.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's Sinclair Media for you

elloellay.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are afraid of being sued…

fernbrooke.bsky.social•7 days ago

Agree! Where is the coverage? The media is complicit…

ozzieski.bsky.social•7 days ago

The media is garbage. They can all FO

zizi1111.bsky.social•6 days ago

I am out of the country right now and my best source of news is Bluesky. Thanks everybody.

Cowards

tdale2.bsky.social•7 days ago

Mainstream media is dead, they only do what the King wants. They are too scared to do anything else.

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

That’s sad, they should be braver than that.

sanneru.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now in the German ZDF auslandsjournal: a whole Episode about the Situation in the USA. DEI, protests, Fred Wellman, sciences

kalief.bsky.social•6 days ago

They.Are.Complicit

There I fixed it

medasmx.bsky.social•7 days ago

Don Winslow is not on bluesky

steve52.bsky.social•6 days ago

They think if they pay no attention it will go away. Like toddlers who hide their faces and think nobody can see them.

jgomon.bsky.social•7 days ago

If there was violence, they would have come out in force.

jflight4.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, Quite a statement for how peaceful all of us throughout the country were all day. Trump would have loved to have seen (or heard about, since I doubt he was watching-) any violence, and then respond with force, martial law, etc., and turn it into a blame game, or worse.

johnnyphx.bsky.social•7 days ago

More like they are OWNED.

mommiecuf425.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sadly they are walking among us again, probably among those being rounded up for unknown destinations 🤬🤯

silvershark69.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, they are very scared! Trump and company can do assorts of harm to the via FCC, and with his billionaire friends law suits after law suits! tRump is working hard to silence the media on any negativity to him! I am worried that he might declare martial law on the USA

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

😢

debscheetzam.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right. Minute piece on NPR this morning.

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Disappointing.

wclamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

There is very little on the news. We will have to keep up word of mouth and rely on foreign news sources.

trueblueschool5.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are not about news. They snooze, we lose. Meidas Touch covered it. Guess who we watch when we want news.

theawalters1010.bsky.social•7 days ago

Local news in Central WI is now owned by big right-leaning companies. No coverage of a nearby teen’s suicide by gun, but they highlight crimes by immigrants. It aired this line: "Torres-Torres, who is not a U.S. citizen and has a violent history, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s sad. Mostly that the folks in the cult take it at face value but see all real news as lies.

phylds.bsky.social•7 days ago

Saw a headline “thousands” protested across the country.

coffeetimebitches.bsky.social•7 days ago

More like millions

phylds.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep

patriciamg312.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are chicken shit!

bebe72178.bsky.social•7 days ago

I do not understand at all. I haven’t watched live TV for 4+ years now and this is why. They are all killers. Complicit in killing Democracy.

lkayc.bsky.social•7 days ago

International coverage was amazing. The rest of the world sees it more clearly than our censored press

return2sanity.bsky.social•6 days ago

Remember when the United States had a free and fair press?

Ah, the good old days...

actualdeb.bsky.social•6 days ago

I do and I miss it!

kristen1968.bsky.social•6 days ago

It was remarkable how many networks are complying with the toddler in the White House.

clueless-stranger.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bring the protests to the news companies. Surround the buildings, peacefully, so when they leave in their vans they have to pass through you first.

return2sanity.bsky.social•6 days ago

And stop watching those networks on tv, and buying those publications. The bottom line is all that matters to these people.

bluej4u.bsky.social•7 days ago

Especially OTA local news.
There's lot of elderly that don't have cable or a smartphone, my parents use an antenna to watch TV.
Nothing on ABC, CBS, NBC,FOX,PBS.
The news could have interrupted an hour of soap operas.
So, is it Donald intimidation or Donald's pockets?
#handsoff
#CountryOverParty

davidcarper750.bsky.social•7 days ago

You would think this would be better covered. After all, Biden never inspired crowds anywhere near the size that Trump is now getting on the streets!

return2sanity.bsky.social•6 days ago

3.5 million people participated in the protests (and none of them were paid). 3.5 million is 1% of the entire US population. What other event that included 1% of the entire population has been so intentionally under reported? I can't think of a single one.

ewr1947.bsky.social•6 days ago

They are cautious, extortion shy. CBS piece on the Venezuelan was a bit of fresh air

deadgrassdogs.bsky.social•7 days ago

We need to keep sharing the video whenever we get a chance.

earthfan.bsky.social•6 days ago

And Jim Jordan and the short fat guy’s nonsense televised daily during the Biden Administration.

likevikes99.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right?

joannenortonellena.bsky.social•7 days ago

Media being sued by Dump.

mtnlove789.bsky.social•7 days ago

They're owned by the wealthy. ABC was the only local station here that reported on the protest.

terrierlover.bsky.social•6 days ago

I dumped all major news organizations in the U,S as I consider them state-run media. Maybe one outlier, MSNBS. But other than that they are no longer a source of the truth.

massb76.bsky.social•6 days ago

Agree! I’ve been saying the same thing!

dah12345.bsky.social•7 days ago

Would Rather have Dan.

nikitamenchaca.bsky.social•6 days ago

Turn off the tv

jasonlassiter.bsky.social•7 days ago

They've all been threatened with lawsuits by Trump enough that they aren't willing to do their jobs anymore.

cairistionaaoidh.bsky.social•7 days ago

Their loss!

puppydelay.bsky.social•7 days ago

So true! Why? These stations are owned by the PROBLEM! Wealthy folks or corporations who WANT

sevenstones.bsky.social•7 days ago

What is TV?

annemkh.bsky.social•7 days ago

The media failed us when Trump ran the first time. The have never recovered Les Moonvies CBS said some thinking like democracy lost but CBS made money. It’s sad

batmobile63-65.bsky.social•6 days ago

Fucking FASCISTS!

renov8r.bsky.social•7 days ago

Tails between their legs

vetnotsuck.bsky.social•7 days ago

They joined with the law firms who dropped their drawers to please trump and not risk the loss of business. Shameful

1tfg.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am disappointed even though I suspected it would happen. All the media is now controlled by a few individuals/corporations who put profits above integrity and journalism.

sabistars.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bowing and scraping.

roseaura.bsky.social•7 days ago

News organizations are businesses first. Contact their major advertisers and let them know how Disturbed you are that this so-called News Group is not reporting the news. They'll change their tune, believe you me.

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Great idea!

ordecadork.bsky.social•7 days ago

My same thoughts!

sleemak.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep. Donny wins even when he loses!

gregleesnyderpdx.bsky.social•7 days ago

The media are owned by billionaires. Of course they do not want to publicize gigantic mass public protests against billionaires and oligarchs. So they intentionally neglect providing that public service.

actualdeb.bsky.social•7 days ago

So I guess it’s up to us to repost everywhere we can 🤷‍♀️

gregleesnyderpdx.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes. Unfortunately the media are not doing what they are supposed to do. They are not fulfilling their responsibility as a public service in our republic. They are strictly serving only the needs of their owners and their guy Trump as part of his corrupt machine.

wild-entropia.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m shocked that so many of you here are shocked. “News” was monetized and assigned shareholder priority decades ago. It’s not meant to inform, it’s meant to make money.

wild-entropia.bsky.social•7 days ago

Peaceful protest does not make headlines. The press only cares when the fire starts. It’s about ratings, profits, and shareholder value, NOT about ‘the news’

sagebird28.bsky.social•7 days ago

They’re putting the nail in their own coffins. We don’t really need them.

skin-e-mini.bsky.social•7 days ago

Millions were marching, anti Trump!

Yay for papers and online, but we need local and network news shows as well.

are-we-home-yet.bsky.social•6 days ago

We need a new language to describe the cunts in charge of media.

Gutless paid off disgrace to their profession

groatd.bsky.social•7 days ago

No violence so no coverage. If it bleeds it leads is still the rule

daydream63.bsky.social•7 days ago

The media has NEVER accurately covered protests. They have a long history of underreporting the numbers and finding the most inarticulate people to interview. No way it’s changing now.
