To be shocked by how little coverage there is about the farmers protests in Brussels?

Admittedly, haven’t watched the TV news, but scrolling through Sky and BBC news online, it doesn’t get a mention, despite thousand of tractors blockading Brussels, and being fired on with water cannons and rubber bullets, fires being lit outside the EU Parliament, and slurry being poured into supermarkets.

i feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it looks like major news from clips seen on Twitter, so why no MSM stories?

Unfortunately people who swallow government propaganda news, or the lack of it, double down even harder when so called conspiracy theories turn out to be true.

Like when the Covid hysteria wore off and people saw the light of day. You couldn’t find any of the shrieking hysterical Covid zealots prepared to standby their views anymore. Where are all the morons who were shouting at people for not wearing the useless masks, and were screaming for schools to be shut, shouted down anyone who said Covid was man made (the FBI has since declared it to be).

The same will happen with this. Anyone questioning crazy climate zealotry which is killing farming, is called a conspiracy theorist. You won’t see these braindead people for dust shortly when they find themselves with egg on their faces. The very expensive imported egg since Europe won’t be producing any of its foods.

Well, no.
The people being accused on this thread of being conspiracy theorists are the ones claiming the farming protests/crisis isn't on the news. When lots of links to news outlets covering the farming protests/crisis have been provided showing that the claim isn't true.

@Alcyoneus if you could perhaps put the sherry down and translate your garbled points into something comprehensible you may have a better chance of being taken seriously.

It would be nice if you could not use ableist language as well.
