People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.

There’s more information about the protests on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Georgian_protests

Basically they’re protesting due to election fraud, democratic backsliding and protesting against pro-Russia policies, they want to be aligned with the EU.

    Any chance you have some data to show how accurate that is? And, are you making a global statement, or just one about Georgia?

      Go to reddit, pick the first media outlet you see and check who owns it, or check who owns reddit.

        That’s not very statistically relevant.

        Also… why reddit when we’re using Lemmy commenting on a channel designed for news links? Repeat your prompt for me?

          We are talking about protests coverage and reddit is one of the most visited platforms in the world.

          Repeat your prompt for me?

          are you a bot?

          Sorry, here’s the prompt again. There’s easily searchable information online about the consolidation of ownership of news channels. Instead of talking about that, you’re going to reply with a story about the lack of education in America.

            I get the condescending thing you’re going for but this is lost on me:

            Well they kinda have a point, brachiosaurus made a claim and porcoesphino asked for some evidence to back up that claim, but they responded with a vague, ‘go look at Reddit and see for yourself’, which isn’t really statistically relevant when you make a claim such as, “most media state-owned”.

            Its basic maths. A sample of one.

            Also, what the fuck?

            Where am I debating? I’m asking for information because I would love to have more information. Some random declaring something isn’t really information. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the poster was mostly right. I’m not here to split hairs, I’m just curious and the reply doubled down with a non-answer
