Protesting, and the power of the media.

[trampie09]

There's been wall to wall TV coverage of the George Floyd protests for a week now. Yet there were also protests in France and some other countries for a year by the Gilet Jaune with tens of thousands protesting each weekend sometimes in the hundreds of thousands (high numbers injured and some deaths) ,yet virtually no TV coverage. Strange that innit? I wonder why?

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.
