The nation's paper of record downplayed the 'No Kings" protests while urging Democrats to move toward the center to defeat Trump, all the while ignoring the GOP's attempt to undermine election integrity.

EDITED to note: I did not realize when I posted this that it was actually written in October, 2025 about an older NYT op-ed, because the complaint is exactly the same. Fresh off the current NYT article linked here, I happened to see this in the sidebar of the Common Dreams article about Saturday’s (March 28, 2026) protests and assumed it was about the current NYT op-ed. My error. Thanks to @AmidFuror@fedia.io for pointing it out.

For those who haven’t read it, this is the NYT article in question. I should note that the author gets thoroughly schooled in the comments:

    Oohh, thank you for the link. I just skimmed through the comments… AJ from Saskatchewan absolutely nailed it!

    Utterly delightful to read.

      So many of the comments are absolute gold. They’re the best thing about the article!

      I could have quoted a dozen more, but they’re behind the paywall even when direct linked and are not gathered with the article content in archive versions. I just wish I could have screenshotted at least the top ten, but they do it in this weird side frame that doesn’t move with the rest of the page so it was a lost cause.
