Just as universities are learning that there is strength in unity, the press needs to understand that too. And this weekend, they passed the test. Except for the NY Times.
A tremendously well-done piece on the well-done and the severely disappointing NYT. (Why that anemic coverage??) Thank you, Rabbi Hammerman. Having pieces like yours is a soothing blessing in these tough, dangerous times.
The soothing part is seeing that others are as upset as I am. Not so much that misery loves company, as misery-comrades mean more folks will work for change.
The NYT frontpage of two business/baseball card size photos on No Kings rallies is indeed a head-scratcher. The 3/4 page coverage inside is not bad, but on an otherwise slow news day, squeezing the front page intro for No Kings in order to devote a third of the front page to a rouge's gallery of Assad's former enforcers in Syria reflects an odd sense of priorities.
Not only was their minimal protest coverage under the fold but they front paged another crabby little piece on the Democrats. Yet another subscription to drop. Thanks for sharing all the impressive local coverage.
Thank you so much for putting this all together! It was truly exciting to watch from Germany. Even if only online! No King should be an inspiration for the whole world. And it should happen every Saturday. But then under a “We love America” banner. I think with this theme a lot of people who we would not expect would participate.
Good Afternoon, Wow, Just fantastic, great job! Sad to say that although our local newspaper, covers two counties in CA, announced where the No Kings Protest would be it did not mention it at all on the 18th, 19th or today.
So glad that you posted all the newspapers that you did. TY
This is why we need more local news outlets. The decimation of local news has had a terrible impact on our ability to be informed citizens
So true. Most of these newspapers featured are local in name only. Owned by conglomerates. Which is why they gave absurdly early deadlines.

Thanks. I wish I felt soothed! It was nice to see the coverage. But I was selective and many other papers did not put the story on their front pages.

This was a great article Thanks for sharing the press coverage…difficult times but we must hang tough..together
Thank you, Rabbi Hammerman for sharing hope and encouragement.

That was crabby. Perfect description. Tone deaf too.

It was nice to see so many American flags out there. When people sang “God Bless America,” it brought us to tears.
