So it’s the 2nd annual women’s march. In 2017 it flooded all media. This year barely a ripple. And I see it’s dissolved into internecine controversy about hats and a why-isn’t-it-bigger story about Trump’s magazine spanking. There’s a lesson here, but damned if I know what it is
I think what’s actually going on is that the media is wired to tell a Hero’s Journey type story with a clear person or idea at the core. Not this kind of carrier bag tale. Just a harder story to tell. It’s a compiler error, not a conspiracy of silence.

Yes, that's probably right. But the press have occasionally stretched themselves to tell carrier bag tales (flower power, the future of work, the power of technology, etc). It's just frustrating that they fell back on angle-based reporting for this story.
