no proper news outlet is reporting that.

And they probably won't. The best we'll get is watered-down slop or misreporting that frames the movement as small and unimportant.

It's not in the interests of corporate media to accurately report on protests against the Trump administration. It might make some ad money in the short term, but it's antithetical to the goals of both the owners and the corporations to piss off Trump:

Republicans benefit the wealthy and corporations and they don't bite the hand that feeds.
The Trump administration has proven itself happy to retaliate against reporters and news agencies by banning them from press events.
The billionaires who own them don't want to anger the guy they're buying favors from.

Edit:

The AP certainly didn't choose to publish many photos that show off the actual scale of the protests: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/no-kings-protest-trump-us-b5de52994b7c592034fb19b7d3e9d577
