More quotes:

If hundreds of thousands of people gathering across all 50 states to protest doesn’t make the front page, what would? What’s the threshold?

Or is the real issue that these particular protests—against billionaire power grabs, against slashing social programs, against attacks on marginalized communities—make too many publishers uncomfortable?

Some quotes:

This isn’t just bad journalism. It’s a deliberate editorial choice that speaks volumes about how establishment media downplays collective action challenging power.

When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.

„A Palestinian journalist was killed on Monday and nine others were wounded, some critically, when an Israeli air strike hit a tent used by local media in southern Gaza, medics and the local journalists' union said. (…)

Reuters was able to verify the video from the position, layout and design of nearby buildings and tents. The date could be verified by media reports and corroborating videos.“

Note: This report is a few days ago, but a good overview & in play. I just got an alert about something now proceeding, I suppose this week. Bcs there's nothing else more important for "our" Congress.
/sarc / #Truth

Because we here in Trumperica can't allow things like #Education or #facts into our daily dose of #disinformation #media. And #journalism is 'fake news'.

PBS? All that 'woke stuff' like Sesame Street, or Mr. Rogers.
"Love they neighbor"? Who would preach that left-wing extremism?

But of course. Just as TikTok is becoming a sacred propaganda prize rather than a thing to be banned,
the #GQP has decided this is the time to close down NPR and PBS. Don't want any of that woke #Truth Stuff, or culture! G-d forbid we have anything "educational", or actual reality-based #journalism. Watch #democracy die under the #Fascism of the Mad Toddler King & Fiends.

⬆️ @associatedpress doubles down with its biased report, making it the lede on their homepage today.

Don't miss its accompanying imagery which purports pro-Palestinian protesters as part of the mix. Nothing like relying on outliers when there are millions (not "crowds") of participants and you want to get your individual slant across.

For a far more accurate take on the HandsOff protests, get it from @CNN as noted in a reply post and here: cnn.com/2025/04/05/us/hands-of

"Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms."

Nice call, @CNN. This is how you do it, @AssociatedPress.
