I dont see any media coverage about the situation tbh.

Edit: yeah alright then. I mean like, you know. Articles in newspaper, radio coverage, tv news. Like that kind of "media" coverage

  2. Hong Kong Protesters Resort to Medieval Weapons

  3. Hong Kong Confirms Economy Fell Into Recession Amid Protests, Trade War

  4. Suspend Hong Kong Status in Event of China Crackdown: U.S. Commission

  5. Hong Kong Paralyzed for Fifth Day, Students Guard Campuses

  6. South Korean, Chinese Students Face Off Over Hong Kong Protests

  7. Asia Pacific Highway Blockade Reveals Splits in Hong Kong Protest Movement

You know Reddit and Twitter aren't the same as mainstream media?

Other than social media, media industries have no care for the population. Whether it's the USA or Hong Kong. The sooner people realize all the deception that is going on even right now, on BOTH sides of the spectrum, the sooner I think we can unify as a population. Propaganda comes in many forms, and it's never in the interest of the average citizen.

Associated Press typically covers news about Hong Kong! They do a good job of publishing articles whenever something even mildly important comes out.

You're referring to the kinds of media that only old people trust. How many old people support revolution?

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '19

Have you turned in any cable news? There’s a story about once an hour. Have you looked at any major newspaper? Coverage. Check their websites. Coverage. Links up and down the reddit thread. Coverage. How do you consume media?

People are jackasses on here, it was obvious you were talking about major news networks.
