   For my friends & followers outside the USA: please know that there are over 1200 protests against the Trump regime going on right now, some with tens of thousands of people. Much of the US media is too cowardly to cover the protests for fear of Trump. But we're standing up and fighting back.

     The US media is too cowardly to cover the [Hands off!] protests for fear of Trump.

     I assume you mean on broadcast TV. I get my news on the web, not on TV. Here is what I found:

     Fox News isn't covering. USA Today says there are thousands, not hundreds of thousands. Washington Post, NBC, and New York Times, are completely mute. However CBS and ABC have stories. PBS is full throated on the spot with live feeds. CNN has below the fold (10 stories+ down) coverage. Axios, AP, and Reuters are covering prominently. Local Los Angeles affiliate television websites are also following.
