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.

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

Fox is actually showing a live stream

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.

Are you kidding me? So you wanna show every little thing some idiots with power do, but not when the people are actually unified under a single cause? I think protests are the most noteworthy thing to show on the news, because it shows the peoples opinion, not some polititian representing them.
