Why there are no reports on Catalonia protest from Western media?

7 points by silverback5 7y ago

I've searched on Youtube, there are not one single video about this event from NONE of US media(CBS, Bloomberg, CNBC, NPR, Foxnews...)... I'm very surprised by the results.

Not sure about Youtube, but in general I saw lots of print reports of the riots in Catalonia, and I'm not even much of a newsphile. I'm in the U.S., btw. I wonder how that compares with, say, Europe?

  I'm from Catalonia and I've seen so much reports and discussions and videos about HK protests. It's not fair, we deserve some coverage too. We are also fighting for our freedom..

    I'm curious to know what other freedoms do citizens in other countries have that you don't. What freedoms are you fighting for?

Since when did Western = US only? Here in Norway it's been on the news and in the papers daily for several days.

  No offence but how many people can read Norway language? US media are read world wide that's why I say it represents the west. Also don't people find it weird at all that there are no discussions of this event on all major Youtube channels feom US/UK?

    The question was "Why there are no reports on Catalonia protest from Western media?". As I showed, in Norway there has been plenty of reports. I consider Norway one of the Western countries. As with most news it's obviously geared towards the locals, Norwegians, which for the most part can read Norwegian. But ok, what about something a bit more international like Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/search/news?blob=Catalonia&sortBy=date&dateRange=all https://www.reuters.com/search/news?blob=Catalonia&sortBy=da... Multiple daily reports for days. Ok how about The Guardian? https://www.theguardian.com/world/catalonia https://www.theguardian.com/world/catalonia Multiple daily reports for days. So maybe the question is rather, why is the US media rather silent on this? https://www.nytimes.com/section/world/europe https://www.nytimes.com/section/world/europe (nothing recent I could see) https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/ (has one recent report but that's it)
