When I was attending Macalester College, the Mac Feminists were a small part of a huge counter rally to a group of anti-choice zealots who planned a rally. I went. There were several hundred of us. There were 15 anti-choice protester. The St. Paul Pioneer Press covered the rally

The used a picture closely cropped to show only the anti-choice fanatics. The headline said Pro-Life Protests Draws Big Crowds. The said there were several hundred people there. They did not say the several hundred were counter-protesters giving the false impression of only antis

Since then, when people say, why aren't there people speaking out...I remember how completely the St. Paul Pioneer Press erased our counter-protest, rendering us invisible and unheard while exaggerating and amplifying the anti-choice rally. It was propaganda pure & simple

There were tens of thousands of anti-Iraq war protesters in Portland. The media covered the small protest in Boise. National media acted as though there were no large rallies against the war.

Similarly, today's media amplify the anti-vaxxers, the anti-maskers, the anti-democracy traitors.

The media is not on our side. They silence us.

Has one major daily ever done a story on what it is like to vote for the popular vote winner TWICE & have the loser installed by EC

Does the media done one story on the healthcare workers happy to see the backside of the anti-vax anti-science placeholders who should have never been in healthcare in the first place?

Does the media ever highlight or amplify the views of non-extremist Christians? Do they ever ask the parents who want masks and who want real history?

No, they see out the aberrant, the bigoted, the vile and amplify their views. They love the chaos. It sells
