Protesting, and the power of the media.

We buy, use, utilize, Chinese goods and services every second of our lives. In the real, tangible sense China is more real to our everyday lives than the USA. You mentioned 'watch, read, listens etc..'. That's exactly, 100% the point I was making - "the power of the media "..

It's got nothing to do with the power of the media. It's got everything to do with the way in which British culture is intertwined with American culture, and has been for centuries.

He clearly mentioned the BBC and mainstream newspapers, and that is where most people get their information that informs their opinions and view of the world..

Most people? That's debatable, but for the sake of argument let's say it's true. It still wasn't the question he asked, which was: "Why does no-one - least of all footballers, celebrities, the BBC, some mainstream newspapers..... protest against the Chinese."

He seems to believe it's down to "the power of the media." I don't agree at all. I believe it has far more to do with shared history, culture and identity.

jon1959 is a smart guy. If the power of the media doesn't exist, where did jon get his narrative from, and why does it match the false narrative that the mainstream media are promoting?

Who said 'the power of the media' doesn't exist? I certainly didn't.

So where are people getting all of their false information from?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It seems you either can't understand plain English or you're desperately trying to frame my responses to Monkfish as being something they weren't. I didn't mention information, false or otherwise, and I didn't suggest the media isn't powerful either. It obviously is. However, I don't believe that has any relevance to the question asked.

Probably a different place to where you get all the truthful information.
