Why is the media ignoring growing resistance to Trump? | Margaret Sullivan

Protest actions like Hands Off' and No Kings' are sweeping across the US. But the media is barely paying attention

When hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered across the US on 5 April for the Hands Off" events protesting Donald Trump and Elon Musk's governmental wrecking ball, much of the news media seemed to yawn.

The next day, the New York Times put a photograph, but no story, on its print front page. The Wall Street Journal's digital homepage had it as only the 20th-most-prominent story when I checked. Fox News was dismissive; I stopped counting after I scanned 40 articles on its homepage, though there was a video with this dismissive headline: Liberals rally against President Trump."
