I see you have reading comprehension problems. I didn't ask you to provide links to media reporting about the protests. I asked you to provide links reporting what the protesters are saying.
I actually went through a few of those links and they don't say much at all, or reframe the reasons the students are there while only quoting irrelevant statements.
Exactly, and that's precisely my point. Western media is refusing o engage with what the protesters say or why they're protesting. Parenti does a great job outlining this tactic in Inventing Reality incidentally.
Btw this was an excellent article! I have it bookmarked now.
For sure, Hedges nails it.
