Having more protests like the one from a couple weeks ago, where it was packed everywhere while having young and old, says a ton more than causing damage. The more drama, the more reason to send you to Guantanamo. Keep it peaceful and keep it huge is my very strong opinion.

I agree with you if press coverage is there. They're not covering the protests because they're not interesting, though.

That said, I'd call this lazy journalism. How about going out there to interview people? Start telling the stories of the people they talk with?

what really says a ton is somehow losing them money. like closing off a big highway in rush hour will probably get more attention (and possibly state violence). that would get them to consider listening.
