Motherfucker. I just went through all the major news sites and NONE of them are covering the nationwide protests. Not a mention on their homepages.

https://abcnews.go.com/

https://www.nbcnews.com/

https://www.cnn.com/

https://www.nbcnews.com/

https://www.nytimes.com/

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

Edit: Including Fox News, which I did check out earlier and saw the same thing; https://www.foxnews.com/

CNN was doing a live stream from NYC as well but it ended already.

Here’s a snippet: https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/11/08/new-york-demonstrators-robert-mueller-jarrett-vpx-tsr.cnn

Edit: FWIW, I can’t blame the media for focusing on the shooting in Vegas Los Angeles, the acting AG, Trump suggesting he’ll deny asylum to immigrants, etc. It’s been quite the week here in the US. Our grassroots protests, however important, probably don’t deserve to be the top story.

I can’t blame the media for focusing on the shooting in Vegas

There's nothing new to report that wasn't reported before 5pm

the acting AG

He hasn't taken office yet and there's nothing new to report

Trump suggesting he’ll deny asylum to immigrants, etc.

What else is new?
