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 @[email protected] 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:

A Challenge for ‘No Kings’ Protests, the Third Time Around – by Jeremy W. Peters for the NYT

    Holy shit, you’re right. I saw it in a sidebar of an article about yesterday’s No Kings and assumed it was also current, because I’d just come off that NYT article I linked above.

    Funny thing is the new NYT article has exactly the same fault as the older one, so I guess it’s current anyway?

    But I didn’t spot it. Massive error on my part. Thank you for the correction.
