I swear I don't get any kick backs for reposting this but the underlying issue is the media has a bias against protest especially liberal protest. It's called the protest paradigm and its been documented for more than 40 years at this point. Link in next skeet.

More from the general public response, but I always found people's reaction to protest to be rather odd. Maybe it's just my circle, but I doubt it, but lots of bouncing between "I wish they wouldn't protest like *that*" and "why is nobody protesting" with nary a moment of reflection between the two.

I wrote this in 2020 in reaction to the George Floyd protest. I'm a Science journalist at heart and so whenever I have a question I'm always looking for data. I was looking for a gut check.

It’s easy to blame the media, and they are garbage. But the specific intention of protests is not to get media coverage, it is to get elected representatives to take action. Those same elected representatives are aware of protests. They then do nothing because they know they will be elected anyway.
