I’m absolutely positive that there will be a “boycott”. At least a couple dozen truck drivers could easily be convinced to free at the edge or NYC and wave about some Trump flags. The funny thing tho, is that there are likely millions of truck drivers who won’t care or will be happy for the loads. The unfunny thing is the media attention that the couple dozen truckers will get.
I can't speak as to what will happen, but "business as usual" is not an eye-grabbing headline. The media obviously won't focus on the normal goings on, but rather on events that stand out. It would be dumb to expect anything else from them. Who wants to hear/read about nothing happening?
I don’t want attention given to fascists or their sympathizers unless it’s ridicule. All the media should be doing is saying “these people are idiots wasting their time” and move on
While I agree with you, we also complain when the media show bias. You can't have both. Either they attempt to make a neutral-sounding statement, or they show obvious bias. At that point, you're just reading an opinion piece.
It is not bias to oppose fascism.
Oh God, I'd love to read about nothing happening for a change. It would be so refreshing...
It's really about the lack of context. Its fine if the focus was on a minority of idiots, but you should also be reporting how insignificant the support is in general and an objective look at why they're there. I don't have faith in most 24/7 media to do that.
