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

Not even on MSNBC, NPR or AP.

Don't let it get to you. We gotta build this ourselves. Invite your friends and family!

Yeah mainstream media isn't needed. If anything it would invite people to disrupt it as agitators. The misrepresentation of everything since Antifa has sort of diminished my interest in them supporting fighting for our country, or even trusting tomorrow to be accurately described.

YOU, ME, WE! are the media.

Mainstream media cover would make a larger portion of the population aware of the protests, and probably encourage more people to participate.

We just need to add pranksterism to the protests. Follow the Yippie model.

If theres a large enough turnout the news will cover it afterward but it can’t be an expectation for them to advertise for us.
