Why is the media mostly ignoring the Women’s March?
Washington Post
This Saturday was the second annual Women’s March. You might remember it. Perhaps you read a news story about it.
Or maybe, perchance, you even attended one. Lots of people did! In Los Angeles, an estimated 350,000 people took to the streets, and in Chicago, 300,000. New York City claimed 200,000. Even red states saw decent-size turnouts. Nashville saw 15,000 and Omaha 8,000.
But after the initial flurry of media attention — crickets. According to an analysis by Media Matters for America, the Sunday morning news shows all but ignored the mass event. “Meet the Press” granted the subject a mere 20-second exchange — and the NBC show was the most generous of the lot.
