the protests in #france were largely ignored in german mass media. the flood catastrophe came in handy to have an excuse to ignore it.

meanwhile journalists here are wondering why nobody trusts them anymore. associated press and reuters had something about the protests, the agencies from where our outlets usually just copy verbatim. it seems that if it doesn't fit the narrative it's just ignored here that 100k are protesting.

a decent surprise was deutschlandfunk where it was in the news, but this is a programme only a tiny minority listens to (https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/frankreich-mehr-als-100-000-menschen-protestieren.1939.de.html?drn:news_id=1281586)

hunter thompson was more objective than most german journalists.
