"near total blackout"?

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

It's on the front page of everything.

Really, please link mainstream media reporting what the students are saying.

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.

For sure, Hedges nails it.

Going out of your way to be an asshole? Go fuck yourself. Oh, and by the way, here's some more links because FUCK YOU:

And those are specifically from the students themselves so sit on a dry cactus and rotate.

Show a single quote from the students where they state the reason for the protest and what their demands are.
