    Gonna say it, this REALLY feels like a case of the news cherry-picking what parts of a protest they show. Between the unreasonable viewpoint that’s directly adjacent to a very sensible and popular viewpoint and the fact we KNOW the media have a very vested interest in trying to push pro-genocide narratives (such as anti-Israel protests being pro-terrorist)…

    Yeah, even someone as gullible as me? I’m not buying this.

      UK news sources are very prone to behaving like that, if you ever spent time in r/GreenAndPleasant it’s shocking how much UK news you dont hear about. Anything vaguely anti-crown just doesn’t get coverage. Or protests in general.

      It’s part of why they media bias bot is laughable given it considers BBC unbiased
