There is more coverage of the hundred MAGAT march today

[edhopper]

Than the 200,000 person rally I attended in Washington to protest the Iraq War.

1. I was there for that one, too. I was amazed how fast it disappeared.

[BlueGreenLady]

2. I had the exact same thought earlier today.

There were helicopters flying over our heads and police on horseback following us around during the Anti-Iraq and Anti-Afghanistan War Protests. But there was nearly a blackout on the nightly news programs at the time. Why the difference?

16. No matter how "liberal" or "impartial"

the media seem to be, they are corporate businesses. Corporate businesses favor conservative politics, especially conservative economics. They supported the Iraq and Afghanistan wars because their conglomerate owners were invested in the wars.

The corporate media currently oppose Biden because of his tax and other economic policies. The establishment conservatives (Bushes, Cheney) are taking their party back from the Trumpists. Now that Trump is quickly becoming a has-been, the media can afford to give him and his followers good coverage as a counterpoint to the liberal politics and economics of Biden and the Dems.

3. I was there too, at the one in NYC also. I knew this one was going to be a dud.

Not many magats were willing to risk getting arrested for trump so they stayed home.

trump didn't have a good day for another reason as well. The occupancy rate at Trump Tower in NY is plummeting as tenants move out not wanting to be associated with the orange turd, and Wells Fargo put the 100M loan on the property on its watch list.

trump's got big problems...as it should be.

5. Me too in NY

Close to half a million people, and the News just mentioned it in passing.

[monkeyman1]

8. how many porta-crapper's they have for the full-a shit protest ?

[Johonny]

4. It's that liberal media bias again

We know more why the minority of Americans remain vaccinated than talk to the vast majority that got vaccinated without a fucking problem.

[irisblue]

6. angry white mostly male trump voters are the current US media obsession

[uponit7771]

17. +1

[jaxexpat]

7. Millions have peacefully protested their ever loving asses off for years.

The media, our link to events, cannot be bothered with the import of unhappy citizens showing their displeasure. Is it any wonder then how the flyover acreage is overly represented by the complacently uninformed?

[AZLD4Candidate]

9. I've seen more people at a family cookout in a public park on a rainy day

The news media loves its right wingers just like people rubbernecking a car crash.

Train wrecks are great news.

[edhopper]

10. They were always more interested

In the Trump voter than the majority who opposed him.

[Jarqui]

11. It cannot be good for their cause to have so many media

covering an event where nobody turns up.

Particularly in the wake of the CA Recall defeat

[Jon King]

12. Still waiting for our CNN focus group about our 'feelings'.

Goodness, if they have one more feature on what MAGA voters are feeling, thinking, eating, drinking I think I will be sick.

[lambchopp59]

13. Methinks many unvaccinated MAGA's are feeling ill lately.

Can't imagine for the life of me why...

[Turbineguy]

14. It reminds me of:

"If you die on TV, you haven't died in vain, you've entertained us!"

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

15. There is more coverage of TFG's daiy mouth farts

than of all the good things Biden has accomplished since he was sworn in.

[Martin Eden]

18. March 15, 2003?

I was there. A small group of counter protesters started chanting SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Then I started chanting with them SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME! Others joined me, and soon we drowned them out.

[yardwork]

19. The U.S. media is pro-war.

It just is. Media coverage is always slanted in favor of war. That's why Biden keeps getting beat up by the media for daring to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. How dare he end war.

It's been this way all my life. I figure it's part of our nation's DNA.
