What the right-wing media does might not matter to us, but it does matter to those who follow right-wing media. You should care a whole lot. The right wing is framing the narrative as we write here.

As for the mainstream media, they will treat conservative caterwauling as if it is serious objections.

As a matter of fact, the magicbalancefairyists are already doing it.

The Women’s March has an anti-Semitism problem — and a Louis Farrakhan one (Salon, an ostensibly left-leaning outlet)

Why Women’s March leaders are being accused of anti-Semitism (Vox)

The Women’s March Has a Farrakhan Problem. The group refuses to be accountable for a high-level alliance with an open anti-Semite. (The Atlantic)

Planned Parenthood parts ways with Women’s March organizer over ties to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (Washington Examiner, a right-wing outfit treated by the magicbalancefairyists as neutral, and Hawai’i Planned Parenthood has indeed announced it is cutting ties with the Women’s March on the grounds of bigotry).

It doesn’t matter who these women are (though some are organisers of the original march). If this is not dealt with and soon, your feelings about the matter will make no difference. The Women’s March will be gleefully tainted by the magicbalancefairyist media as anti-Semitic, and it will become poison.

None of this matters to the local groups of women who are organizing in their communities. And no one can make them stop organizing. Each group is autonomous. Each group has different local concerns. A march in Houston will not be the same as a march in San Francisco. There is no national organization. It’s all local.

So….people don’t march with us? That’s the concern?
