Here’s Why Media Don’t Want You To Know About Huge Global Protests
On The Washington Post homepage these days, you ll find headlines such as, How To Deal With A Chatty Coworker Who Won t Get Out Of Your Office, but you won t find mention of the more than 100,000 people protesting in Madrid. You ll find the story of a gay union entitled, What s Two Yentas Plus One Senator? A Lifetime Together at The New York Times, but you won t see a single heading on the more than 10,000 protesters in Athens. Corporate media has largely glossed over the tens of thousands of farmers in the Netherlands who clogged up roadways and distributions centers by holding Canadian-trucker-convoy-style demonstrations to protest radical climate policies.
According to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which records protests worldwide, 11 countries are currently seeing protests of more than 1,000 people in response to the rising cost of living and other economic woes in 2022. As of July 5, Carnegie had recorded protests of more than 120,000 people in France, 100,000 in Spain, 10,000 in Greece, 10,000 in Kazakhstan, 10,000 in Sri Lanka, 10,000 in India, 5,000 in Iran, 5,000 in Peru, 1,000 people in Argentina, 1,000 in Morocco, and 1,000 in the U.K.
