The revolution will not be televised.
Not until it becomes violent, at which point it’ll be demonized by Media.
it’ll be
demonizedmonetized by Media.Agreed.
this is one of the instances where they would gladly give up the profits to undermine the movement.
if it ever becomes an big threat to them, that is.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox

Why would there be news about glorified meetups?
“Thousands join anti-Trump protests across US” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjn0410e3zo
I was listening to the radio and they mentioned it so I don’t think it’s radio silence, but it also wasn’t covered in depth either.
The guardian apparently wrote an article that was shared in .world/c/news : https://lemmy.world/post/28450666

There’s a protest scheduled for today in Fresno. I’d be there right now if I had gas money or a ride. Only learned about it on Thursday; didn’t have time to plan anything. 😮💨
Hell yeah! It’s huge.
Those reading, check in with your friends and family, not iust so they know about it, but to help each other with transportation!
Thousands of demonstrators rallied at hundreds of events on Saturday (…)
Thousands? Were there just 100 protestors at 100 events? That that would be already 10,000…WTF…
Protests tend to be underreported if peaceful, and over-reported if any violence or vandalism.
It’s funny that you get salty when the Times uses ‘thousands’ then put in a port that also uses ‘thousands.’
They did that with the last one too. They tryna quiet us
Best check local news sources:

Al Jazeera English covered, even took an interview with Hunter Dunn (national press coordinator).
/50501 here and on reddit.
Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?
After the big one I think around early or mid-March, I remember seeing it on the front page of CNN the next morning. It was buried in a lower part later I’m the day, but it was at least front and center the morning after the protests.
Even Fox has covered them a lot. I’ve seen this all spring. They aren’t completely ignoring this.
!general@50501.chat and !mirror@50501.chat for anyone interested.
Do you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don’t think so at all.

Well no, but the question was why is there no mainstream media coverage.
I’ve posted a couple things here on lemmy. Let’s be honest though, the reach of reddit is orders of magnitude higher than here
Just another question, where would you ideally like to see protest news posted on lemmy? Yes there’s the 50501 community, I also post on DSA community. Where else?
Thanks for doing that!
Maybe also !world@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social
