The fact that American citizens are taking to the streets in protest would seem newsworthy to me. Again, there wasn't much "newsworthy" in our protests in the 60's except when Bull and his boys broke out the fire hoses, dogs and clubs. Even if most of what is happening is mundane, it's still newsworthy and the only way folks rights can be protected in through the presence of "eyes"...social media and left wing coverage will always be subject to question while NBC covering an 84 year old woman being pepper sprayed would have a much larger effect.
