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.
everyday!=every dayGood point, I updated the title.
but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.
In the past decade there have been a drop in protests coverage worldwide, governments are now following instructions not to report on these.
Governments don’t own most media. For private companies that rely on money, clickthrough rates decrease for events that continue and that has to be one contribution for the decrease
That’s correct, those that own those governments own most media.
Multinational megabanks own most media, they control through DEBT
They also run THE FED, which is in direct control of the USAs money. The USA is not even in control of its own money.
Governments don’t own most media.
Most media are indeed owned directly by governments or by people with ties to them.
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?
That’s not very statistically relevant.
what kind of debatelord nonsense is this
Even without outside intervention, something that happens every single day is not news.
Eh, that’s basically the exact definition of news actually lmao
I mean a lot of countries have long running protests against their governments. While not an everyday occurrence, Serbs have been protesting since 2024 against the corruption of their government, government which is backed by literal war criminals.

Protesting for one day and patting yourself on the back is a farce. Real change takes sustained effort.
If protest would be an effective way to bring change, it wouldn’t be allowed.
Russia has forbidden western NGOs. Likewise there are constant reminders in the West of which parties receive Russian funding.
The political elite all have economic ties to Russia and don’t represent the will of their people causing significant tension.
Just like the US state of Georgia.
hungary, some of the UK politicians, france, germany.
No need to write “The Country” behind it. We already know that Americans will not really protest even though their country turns into third reich.
Side note: when the “third reich” happens for the second time in history, it’s called the “fourth reich.”
