>Often times the coverage encourages a "Walk on eggshells" mentality that doesn't necessarily reflect how members of the movement actually feel. I don't need to do that when I can simply check out e.g. the discussion in company Slack channels, where real members of these movements are causing people to really walk on eggshells. Note that I wouldn't really put BLM as an example of a social movement that has gone too far in stifling discussion. It is probably a good example though of media coverage being bad for a momevement. From what I could tell, the media tended to most highlight instances of killings by police that weren't obviously bad, to drum up controversy (e.g. focusing on the Michael Brown shooting), discrediting BLM in the process.
