Has anyone else noticed that a more effective means of controlling a specific narrative is for the news to outrightly ignore it?

You notice it a lot with right-aligned protests. The Million MAGA March in late 2020 was barely covered by anyone, even though it was the direct precursor to J6. The Honkening was largely ignored (except for the Toronto residents losing their sleep, haha) UNTIL it began to threaten the local economy several days in. Then the military and mask-wearing brownshirts were called in and things were broken up within 24 hours.

I'm noticing it again with Unite The Kingdom. There's been a bit more media coverage this time thanks to Tommy and Elon's appearances (in addition to Kirk's assassination boosting things) and the march itself quite frankly being too big to sweep under the rug, but it definitely did not draw the right level of coverage it merited. The entire center of London was ground to a standstill, and yet most news outlets treated it as a tertiary headline.

Compare that to left-aligned protests with much smaller crowds, like Extinction Rebellion and the rest of the orange paint faggots (as well as BLM grifters) and they always make the front page and extended TV coverage. Hell, those dumb African retards in the Scottish highlands are getting arguably more news coverage than UTK did in their own damn country.
