1. They will ignore it until they get laughed at and criticized enough. The people know something BIG is going on

A really great thing about mass protests is that they are widely visible. They can't be denied. So CNN and NYT can only ignore them, not deny them. Before long, editorial meetings will come to the conclusion that they will continue to lose viewers and readers if they don't cover them. It will show up in comments online and subscription cancellations.

When people drive by masses and long stretches of protesters, they know.
When streets are blocked for protests, they know.
When local TV shows protests, they know.
When their neighbours talk, they know.

It can't be hidden. Keep up the pressure. Thanks to everyone who keeps turning out.
