"Aren't news worthy enough"

News can and does keep dragging the same worthless news articles whenever they want so this is a lie

being the largest protest in us history makes it kinda newsworthy….

Did 50501 send Katy Perry to space? Checkmate.

good point, a washed up celebrity going… well not even to space but… good point, that’s some riveting, important news

That's like the entire purpose of a protests. How incredibly unethical of a journalist to even say something like this.

I love NPR but this stinks real bad. They should resign.
