I'd like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I've never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I've been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I'll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I've ever been a part of.
I googled 50501 from the info on here. Not a single entry from major US media, every single one is a regional paper - with one exception - there was an AP article 2 weeks ago.
I'm afraid I don't usually turn to the Baltimore Sun or the Staunton Register for my US news - first two entries - where the hell even IS Staunton.
No, the BBC isn't covering it (typing 50501 into the search bar got me "Is American cheese really that bad" from 2019 (no I dont understand either)
The last coverage by majors such as CNN and APnews and reuters who ARE who I look to for US news was two weeks ago (16days to be precise) so if there have been many protests since then as you claim then it does indeed look like they are ignoring it
A search on AP news for "protests" sorted by new has me scrolling down about 70-80 items before I find out that 300 people are protesting being sacked from the DHH.
Then another 2 pages to find a rally in california a couple days ago.
None of these were on the AP home page headlines, none of these come up in the RSS ticker feed. If it's not a media blackout they sure don't think these protests matter
"I googled 50501 from the info on here. Not a single entry from major US media,",
not sure how to help you if you find the concept of regional media included in media as mindblowing.
American cheese really is that bad, so at least you found a relevant result for yourself!
