Our media is used to operate in dictator states so they have reporters stationed in those countries using tech like Signal to communicate home. We do see the protests, just not as much as we would have liked to see.
@grrlscientist Not just the mainstream media. Just look at the big influencers who focus on politics. Many of them are also silent or only mention it when something extraordinary/odd happens.
@grrlscientist legacy media learned during the George Floyd protests that the more they covered the protests, the more people for involved and that's bad for their business. More recently they learned that they can talk as much trash in Luigi as they want but amplifying the actions of anyone fighting back against the oligarchy increased class solidarity. Keep protesting. After we #TakeDownTesla we move on to these media companies. We protest all oppressors
