An estimated 7 million peaceful protesters took to the streets on October 18, in the second-largest demonstration in US history (after the first Earth Day in 1970), demanding accountability and a return to democracy and the rule of law. In a system of government where citizens can only use the ballot box every two to six years to show how they feel about their electeds, that’s something you’d think would warrant journalistic attention.
Yet at the nation’s paper of record—whose headquarters sat literally a stone’s throw away from the New York City No Kings march route—the protest was deemed not important enough for a front-page story. Two small below-the-fold photos were offered instead (10/19/25), with the accompanying article buried on page 23.
Because $$$.
Because they are fucking compromised!

Because legacy media is owned by the same wealthy interests as everything else, and progressivism is a legitimate, real threat to those greedy fucks
They can bribe fascists for favourable outcomes.
They think they can bribe fascists for favorable outcomes, but what they’re still in denial about is that fascists do whatever they fuck they think will get the m them the most power in any given circumstance, including going back on promises (money paid, money taken), extorting for more money, and throwing anybody they want Uber the bus.
There’s no making deals with fascists, there’s only getting scammed by fascists.
I know it’s an autocorrect issue, but “Uber the bus” sounds like the next goal of businesses gutting public infrastructure and replacing it with the gig economy. In other words, very on brand.
Maybe it’s old news, but doesn’t one of the owners of NYT have a home in occupied land in Palestine?
I think the story you’re referring to is that NYT itself owns a house in what used to be a Palestinian neighbourhood in West Jerusalem. It’s possible that there’s something about one of the owners, but I do not know about that
The house in question is in Qatamon, which was on the Israeli-controlled side of the 1949 Green Line. It was majority-Palestinian, but most of the residents fled during the war. Israel allowed Jews who had fled from the other side of the Green Line to settle it. In 1984, the NYT bought the house for the use of its Jerusalem bureau chief. It got some attention a while back when the NYT journalist living there read the writings of a Palestinian woman who had grown up there, realised she was talking about the same house (or more specifically, the house that his house was built as an upper floor extension of), and invited her to visit
Probably. Why not?
A single family has owned at least 90% for over a hundred years. That family does what it wants.

my brother in Christ, you can rail against them and lose the next election against the fascists.
I dunno if you’ve been living under a rock for the past year or whatever but uh… I’ve got some bad news for ya buddy.
What are you saying?
Oh shit! NYT put the No Kings protest story below the fold on the front page? Clearly they are trying to hide it.
When did No Kings become about progressives? It’s opposition to Trump and specifically his authoritarianism. Plenty of neoliberals are against Trump. The boogiemen of the left - Biden and Harris - were also against Trump. NYT is against Trump. So they neither hid No Kings nor had motive to do so.
why are “leftists” more concerned with splitting people into separate groups and pitting them against each other other than unifying against fascism?
Vote blue no matter who!
Because… because centrists don’t actually care about opposing fascism and will in fact support it more often than not? This is like saying “we’re fighting the Germans; we have no problem with the Italians” in WWII.
If you didn’t try to split “centrists” off as enemies, I think they’d be with you.
That’s a nice hypothesis, how about you prove it? Because I’ve literally never seen centrists ally with progressives for any length of time.
Holy shit! maybe you’re the asshole
Do assholes deserve to die to fascists?
if all it takes for you to hug a nazi is someone being upset you’re hugging nazis
you might be a nazi
some people are so fucking stupid
you’re pretty good at making enemies. How is your movement going?
my movement is the face eating leopard party and it’s dining well
I respect that
We’re not…
Pretty cool how you’ve swallowed that narrative from those who benefit from such a lie
That’s a copout, you need reject it as part of your mental model, because it’s limiting you. “I don’t like exactly what you said, it must be a narrative you were fed by my enemies”.
it’s no narrative, it’s what I’ve seen here day after day.
imagine basing your political alignment on what strangers say about you and not the actual actions of said political body
‘lefty’s were mean to me on the internet so I voted for a Nazi pedophile’
-you
then smugly doubling down about these stupid justifications
Wait, who is a Nazi pedophile? I voted for Harris.
the president obviously
if you voted harris then why the fuck are you spending time defending trump supporters at this point
like i get post 2016 but not after jan 6
I’m not going to waste my time on you
OK, boomer
You must really enjoy getting downvoted.
Nah, that’s why they have a nsfw account
Does that instance not show users their downvote count? Is it just the UI, because I can see it on voyager from my instance.
They’re coming after you to prove you’re the divisive one, not them. They think you hug Nazis.
