The Sunday following the anti-President Donald Trump Women’s March on Washington, network news rushed to spin the event as an inclusive event about putting the president on notice. “[Trump will] be confronting images, however, like this,” hyped Paula Farris on GMA, “Hundreds of thousands of women, and men, hitting the streets.” There was no talk of the obscene parts of Ashley Judd’s hate filled tirade nor Madonna’s fantasy of “blowing up the White House,” only a fleeting mention on NBC.
ABC’s Matt Gutman started off by declaring the march was Trump’s “anti-inauguration,” which was followed up with video of the protestors chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go.” “A sea of protesters, bobbing in their pink beanies. waving placards, condemning President Donald Trump on his first day in office,” he praised.
As with most coverage conducted by ABC, they were drawn to the glitz of the Hollywood celebrity speakers. “Headlined by the kind of a-list celebrities that snubbed the president's inaugural,” Gutman mocked, “Madonna, a surprise speaker, didn't hold back.” The only video he played was the loony singer smearing the inauguration as a “horrific moment of darkness” for the country that “woke us the [bleep] up.”
No mention of Madonna’s message of “fuck you” to those who disagree with the march’s radical leftist positions. There was also no talk of Judd’s insane ranting proclaiming that Trump’s cabinet was filled with “Nazis,” her slamming of Ivanka Trump as the president’s “favorite sex symbol,” nor the lashing out at the South for being filled with racists.
On NBC’s Sunday Today, reporter Morgan Radford only showed Madonna shouting, “Welcome to the revolution,” while ignoring Judd’s craziness altogether. Instead, she chose to ridicule the newly inaugurated president by comparing the size of crowds, noting, “In D.C., this was the scene on inauguration day. The next day, the Washington mall packed with even more people demonstrating on President Trump's first day in office.”
The only mention of Madonna’s terroristic threat came from NBC anchor Willie Geist who had to read it from a statement from a White House official. “Comments like these are absolutely unacceptable, and had they been said about President Obama, the mainstream media would be in an uproar,” Geist read but without confirming that that was what the singer actually said.
But thanks to the White House statement, Geist did mention the upcoming March for Life event in Washington, DC on Friday, January, 27. The statement noted that the march gets roughly the same amount of people and called the media out for not paying attention to it. The statement added that pro-life groups were not welcomed at the Women’s March as official partners.
For all the chanting leftists protestors do proclaiming “the whole world is watching,” they are correct on that point. The whole world is watching and no matter what negative news the liberal media tries to omit from their reports the world is going to see it. Especially when it’s broadcasted on national television.
