"By mid-day on Sunday, the front page of the New York Times website contained not a single news article about the protests. ...
A few days ago many of us would have expected the New York Times to under-cover the No Kings protests relative to its coverage of much smaller right-wing gatherings."

"That's the kind of thing the paper does routinely. What I bet none of us could have predicted was the New York Times downplaying the president of the United States posting a video of himself dropping shit on the American people."
"The 'What’s next' question is a positive sign. But some political commentators are spinning that question in a negative way, as in,
'Okay, so you had a big protest. What else you got?' Ignore them. They didn’t show up on No Kings Day 2.0 (or 1.0 for that matter)."

"Motivating 2% of the population to do anything on a coordinated basis has rarely happened in the history of our nation. Some readers noted that early editions of the New York Times said that 'thousands' had shown up to protest; later coverage by the Times on Saturday (updated on Sunday) gave a fair accounting of the large crowds. See New York Times, '''No More Trump!’: Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country."
"The New York Times was almost as unmoved [as CBS], despite the many huge gatherings in the paper’s own backyard. The Times’s print front page on Sunday morning featured two small photographs, below the fold, and the story appeared on page 23. It was part of their wrap-up titled 'The 47th President.'”
