BBC link upthread, too.

CBS video coverage: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/climate-change-marches-in-nyc-around-globe-draw-thousands/

ABC "biggest in history" coverage: http://abcnews.go.com/US/york-sees-biggest-climate-march-history/story?id=25659229

MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/largest-climate-march-history-kicks-new-york

Crowds gathered with banners, flags and floats around Columbus Circle late Sunday morning as music and chants rang out at the start of the march. At exactly 12:58 p.m., demonstrators held a moment of silence in honor of the victims of climate change, followed by a cacophony of noise with drums, cheers and horns to sound the alarm to the crisis.

The Sunday talkers don't cover this stuff because sometimes those interviews are PRE-RECORDED. They aren't always live. Further, the "crucial point" of the march happened when those shows were LONG over. Finally, when there's "Breaking News" those hosts of MTP or FTN or This Week don't cover the stories--they send it back to the studios.

But every media outlet covered it, and they gave it a chunk of the newscast. Even, as I said, Faux.

Well, on this issue at least, if you're depending upon DU for "news", you're being mislead. George II Sep 2014 #73

What are you saying? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2014 #76

Well, if you're depending on this thread to get your "news" about there being no coverage... George II Sep 2014 #78

I think the obvious interpretation is not a literal one LiberalLovinLug Sep 2014 #80

I hope you're right. redruddyred Sep 2014 #82

But obviously it hasn't been ignored, in fact it got widespread notice by all forms of media. George II Sep 2014 #72

Take it from Ferguson, protests and demonstrations don't get coverage. Downwinder Sep 2014 #2

NBC, Time, BBC, MSNBC, US Today, NYTimes all covered it KurtNYC Sep 2014 #13

Doesn't suit the narrative. MADem Sep 2014 #59

There often seems to be an idea that the goal of a march or protest is strictly to get on TV. KurtNYC Sep 2014 #67

There's also this idea that stuff needs to be shown LIVE or it doesn't count. MADem Sep 2014 #83

The climate change story has three beats this week KurtNYC Sep 2014 #84

Just like the media ignored the anti Iraq War protests. Enthusiast Sep 2014 #14

It was a bit of a convolution between the "mainstream media" and the Sunday talk shows. MADem Sep 2014 #75

Well, the subject line is.... George II Sep 2014 #79

I concur with those points, but I was focused on this line in the article: MADem Sep 2014 #81
