After the March, Recriminations?

Published



The liberal media’s coverage of the Women’s March on Washington on Jan. 21 was generally one long ecstatic swoon. Even some 10 days later, the Washington Post is slapping the Vaseline over its lenses in a loving soft-edged gaze at march founder Teresa Shook:

The retired lawyer has had a whirlwind few months, and she’s starting to decompress and reflect on how she, a first-time activist, was able to launch the Women’s March on Washington with a single Facebook post. Now that the main event is over, she wants to ensure that she and people across the Hawaiian Islands remain in the movement to battle White House policies they think will set women and the country back.

Interestingly, though, not quite all of the liberal media are so starry-eyed in their reflections on the march as the Washington Post. A few progressive journos have actually been quite critical.
