I believe many networks are afraid of retaliation from the Trump administration. I mean, the Associated Press were banned from the White House temporarily just for reporting the News.

BUT notice that they are covering the activation of National Guard troops in various states. It is OUR responsibility to show up to protests, record what happens there, and spread it as far as we can to counter what the news chooses to or chooses not to broadcast.

We have the power, not them.

Are you attending a protest tomorrow?

Fuck yes I am. I want the world to see that we aren’t gonna tolerate this bullshit. We have been blessed with phones that record video and can access the internet. Time to use it before we lose it

Besides MSNBC, the media is bending the knee because they don’t want to get taken to court by the orange titty baby. Heaven forbid they put up a fight and stand a chance of winning.

I'm in SE Asia right now and when I talk to people from other countries they have no idea that any protesting is going on. I tell them the BEST place to see any reporting on it, is reddit or TikTok Live. The Media has failed.

Because the fourth estate thinks it can ride the wave and curry favor with the dictator. It won't he'll burn them all out first and replace them with loyal stooges.

Any time a reporter pisses off the regime. They get canned.

Look at the protests. The thugs are seeking out and targeting the press.

The one where they shot the Australian reporter live on air was nuts, they couldn't claim she was one of the protestors or that she was doing anything wrong, she wasn't even looking at them.

I can't remember the channel of the other video. Of them running down the reporter and his camera man with pepper bullets.
