Heard the resistance was dead? You’ve been reading too much.
Amy Hollyfield is the managing editor of the Dallas Morning News — the very honest managing editor of the Dallas Morning News. When confronted earlier this month as to why her newspaper hadn’t covered Dallas’s version of the nationwide “Hands Off” protests on April 5, Hollyfield admitted that “we didn’t realize the protest was going on.” She acknowledged it was “a large event” and called the oversight “a big miss” for her newspaper.
Your average managing editor might have spun up a story about scarce resources or coverage priorities. But Hollyfield’s candor opens the door for a broader question about the Trump resistance: Does the media know what it’s up to?
I have some doubts.
