Why don't FOX and MSNBC cover anti-war demonstrations anymore?

They're certainly happening. Plus, other demonstrators have been welcoming antiwar people. I've personally seen them in among union pickets, abortion rights activists, Occupy protestors, and gay rights marchers.

So why won't FOX and MSNBC cover them?

Is it because FOX wants to paint everyone from the center to the left as being "in the tank" for Obama? And because MSNBC doesn't want anything negative about him?

Update:

I saw a fairly large group of veterans carrying signs with slogans about being betrayed.

At what point will people listen to them?

    Because it's old news. There's a tag line they go by in the news biz "if it bleeds it leads", and anti war demonstrators have just gotten to be old news. In other words nobody cares, if there's no Kardashians or Jersey Shore types involved it's just not newsworthy anymore.

    by way of fact the Iraq conflict and the conflict in Afghanistan/troop numbers interior the middle east are actually not the comparable ingredient. maximum persons weren't anti conflict in many circumstances. They have been against the Iraq conflict particularly and it is winding down. specific the united stateswill look after a presence there, merely as they do in Japan and Germany. yet they're not in value of protection there and that they have a heck of a smaller presence than earlier. The Iraq conflict replaced into very costly in greenback words and in terms of yankee and Iraqi voters lives lost. It replaced into justified in particular on a baseless WMD declare (humanitarian grounds? by way of fact while has united statesa. ever fought a conflict on humanitarian grounds? what number humanitarian disaster do united statesa. forget approximately. there is often yet another real reason while they do act. it incredibly is a bull answer and all of us could desire to be attentive to it). Now we see Iraq continues to be full of issues, nevertheless has violence, and we see regardless of this regime put in place, they're doing issues like mass killings of gay human beings and so on. replaced into the extensive value nicely worth it? Saddam replaced into on no account a significant possibility he had a thrid international military. He had no wmds. there have been many greater threatening countries around on the time. Afghanistan on the different hand, replaced into justified as they have been actually harbouring Bin weighted down and does not supply him up after 9/11. The Taliban are a terrible regime and if united statesa.'s efforts had stayed with Afghanistan i the 1st place, it won't have deteriorated into the mess it incredibly is now. it incredibly is why all and sundry isn't protesting now. They have been on no account protesting conflict in many circumstances. That replaced into continually a bull assumption from some dim witted precise wingers who simplify the left and can't distinguish between conflicts. AND it isn't the comparable project.

    Living proof that neither the Libs nor the Cons can be trusted. We need a strong, Socialist Working Class Party and Government. So in the meantime the Green and the Socialist Parties should fill the bill.

    Hope this helps

    Fox did cover one in front of the Capital last year, but it was only like 8 people. I think a protest has to have a few hundred to make the news.

    You people really need to wake up and realize that Fox and MSNBC are on the same team and work together to perpetuate an illusion of a difference between the two political parties so the establishment never loses its power.

    The half dozen left over hippies from the Viet Nam anti war demonstrations don't really amount to anything. That bunch of professional protesters you listed would welcome anyone as long as they were against something, it doesn't really matter what they are against. Even MSNBC does not think they are worth mentioning and they would mention anything if they could blame Republicans for it.
