Local outlets did *much* better than "Big Journalism" covering the #handsoff pro-democracy demonstrations.
Newsroom leaders need to defend democracy from autocracy.

Probably approaching 1,000 people in otherwise quiet NYC suburbs today for #HandsOff, braving rain and 50 degree temps.

Editors at Jeff Bezos’s
@… were even more dismissive of the #handsoff pro-democracy movement on 4/6.
More than 1 million Americans expressing their concerns got a tiny box.
The next day, WaPo editors chose to devote half the #FrontPage to a personal achievement - a new hockey scoring leader.
A Putin-supporter who plays in the NHL.

The others must have thought I was there as a narc.
