You're honestly arguing the BBC is giving equivalent levels of coverage?
- omnicognate 7y agoNo, they're pointing out that the French protests have been covered in depth. There's no particular reason they should have equal coverage. Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997.
- toby- 7y agoNo? I'm not suggesting that. I don't believe they merit equivalent courage today, in nearly August 2019. No news organisation is covering the protests in France now as fervently as they were when the protests were at their zenith. The recent protest on 14 July (which the BBC covered) numbered only a few hundred, down from hundreds of thousands[1] in prior months.
