(135,425 posts)FuxSnooze (the national one, not the local channels) will only disparage the movement. The local networks in NC, which is where this is all taking place, and where this movement is addressing local issues and directing their demands towards the government of NC, are doing a great job covering this story. There are tons of stories over the past year and lots and lots of video.
This is NOT being covered by local news in MA. Why would they? NC doesn't carry local MA news either.
As I've said in other posts on this topic, finger wagging (which the OP is doing) isn't going to do any good--people should come to this "moral" effort with joy, not because someone has scolded them for not doing their homework.
This movement is local and organic. It's being well covered locally and regionally. It has spread to GA and SC, where it is also being covered by the local news media--not ignored. I think it will, eventually, morph into a more national undertaking, but as it grows on a local level, it is developing strong and deep roots. There's lots on the "news plate" this week of interest to the nation--this is NOT a slow news week. The big storm a-brewing and the Olympics leave little time for local or regional reports.
