Protesting, and the power of the media.

Yes many observers noted the lack of main stream coverage over the yellow vest riots, in this country and in many cases across the World including France.
My guess is it was a populist uprising, not just left wing and the powers that be are right wing and they don't want to show right wing protests against right wing neoliberal capitalist Governments.
They will show protests in Hong Kong against communist China mind you.

Many people would be surprised to hear there were 1900 injuries during the french protests including 24 eyes lost and five hands removed among other horrific injuries and even some deaths although there is some argument whether those deaths were directly attributed to the protests. I guess what I'm trying to say is that by comparison there is a huge disparity in TV coverage between the American and French protests and I am posing the question why that would be the case? Makes no sense to me. Which is why I now prefer to do my own research rather than watch distorted TV coverage.
