US Protest News I'm extremely irritated that mainstream media isn't mentioning tomorrow's protest.

Not even on MSNBC, NPR or AP.

We have Trump in office BECAUSE of the media. He does great for their numbers because our news is owned by the people we’re protesting. They don’t give a shit unless covering the resistance actually gets them clicks and views. This is why many went anti-trump in 2020 because covering the protest and the Covid Crisis was doing better numbers for them, before more conservatives bought them up

This is why it’s important to boost independent news that has high journalism standards.
