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.

    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?

            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?
