Donald Trump sure has a knack for bringing people together.

Saturday’s massive “Hands Off!” demonstrations brought together millions of people from across the country (and Europe) to protest the Trump/Musk regime, but judging from the front page of most newspapers and news sites today, you’d hardly know it.

The New York Times (still considered the nation’s “paper of record” for many) buried the demonstrations on page A18 of its Sunday print edition, and the rallies are nowhere to be found on the front page of nytimes.com.

Even Fox News briefly featured the protest as their top story (with the piffling headline “Anti-Trump protesters ditch their ‘jammies’—asked what they’re so mad about”) before dropping it to a second-level story—but still above the fold.

Here’s how other news services fared with their coverage (links to screenshots):

• ABC News: Second-level story (“Huge crowds gather in ‘Hands Off’ rallies nationwide in protest of Trump admin”).
• AP News: Below the fold (one page), under a “More coverage” section on tariffs (“Angry protesters from New York to Alaska assail Trump and Musk in ‘Hands Off!’ rallies”).
• CBS News: Top sidebar headline (“’Hands Off!’ Demonstrations protest Trump, Musk across the U.S.”).
• Chicago Sun-Times: Front and center.
• CNN: Bullet headline (“’Hands Off!’ protesters across US rally against Trump and Musk”).
• MSNBC: Below the fold (one page), under the “Most Watched” section (“Nationwide protests grow over Trump administration policies”). Not even an editorial decision.
• NBC News: Second-level story (“Demonstrators rally in ‘Hands Off’ protest against Trump policies and Musk-led government cuts”).
• The Washington Post: Well below the fold (eight pages), under the “National” section (“Mass protests across the U.S. signal opposition to Trump, Musk”).
• USA Today: Top left sidebar headline (“US citizens rally at nationwide ‘Hands Off’ protests”).
• Wall Street Journal: Well below the fold (five screens), with a bullet headline (“Protesters Rally Against Trump: ‘Democracy Not Dictatorship’”. Also, a sidebar under “Recommended Videos”: “Thousands of Anti-Trump Protesters Gathered Around the World”).

I understand news home pages change rapidly—and have already changed during the writing of this piece—but these nationwide protests against a deeply unpopular president and co-president deserve continuing, high-visibility coverage, if only to show others the depths of the anti-administration sentiment swelling within the population. Can you imagine if Joe Biden drew massive—or any—nationwide protests? It would get front page, above-the-fold, coverage for months. We’d still be talking about it today.

It’s almost like the mainstream media is trying to protect Donald Trump.
