There was a large rally held in Times Square in New York City in the last 24 hours to call for rejection of the Obama deal with Iran regarding nuclear weapons. Estimates put the crowd at somewhere between ten and twenty thousand people, although there were a few estimates that put the number at double that level. It is the kind of demonstration that usually gets massive media coverage because it takes place very close to the main offices of the major networks. Guess what! CBS, NBC, and ABC news did not cover the event. The New York Times did not cover the event; it was held in Times Square which is named for the paper, but there was no coverage.
When there were much smaller protest marches held in Manhattan about events in Ferguson or Baltimore, the Times and the networks were all over them. When ten or twenty times more people turn out to protest the Obama deal with Iran, all we hear is crickets.
Is it any wonder that most Americans don't trust the mainstream media? Now, they don't just slant the stories; no, if they don't like something, they just don't cover it.
