The New York Times has reported on the "No Kings" protests, which were a series of nationwide demonstrations held to protest what organizers viewed as President Trump's authoritarian policies. The protests occurred on the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C. celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday.
The New York Times published a live updates piece that discussed the protests extensively, detailing the scope of the events, their purpose, and the atmosphere at various locations across the U.S.. The piece included quotes from organizers and participants and noted that the protests were planned in over 2,000 locations in all 50 states.
Specifically, the New York Times reported on the large crowds that gathered in cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago, emphasizing that the demonstrations were held to challenge what organizers considered Trump's "authoritarian overreach". They also published photos and maps showcasing the nationwide protests. Additionally, The New York Times reported on the protests in Minnesota, where demonstrations continued despite organizers officially canceling them due to a fatal shooting.
Therefore, the premise that the New York Times did not cover the "No Kings" protests is incorrect. The New York Times did cover these events, providing details about their scope, purpose, and impact across the country.
