On Thursday, Vice Magazine posted an article about violent protests going on in Bangkok. What? You mean you haven't heard of these protests? That's okay, neither had I. This is a story that has gone largely unreported in the American press. Of course, CNN may have done a story about it, but I haven't watched that shit since the debacle that was their coverage of the Boston Bombings.
This is why people should get their news from a diverse number of sources. There are lots of stories out there that don't get ample coverage in the American press that people should know about. There can also be differences between the way that one news source covers a story in comparison to another. Details, knowledge, insight, bias, all of these things can be known and sorted through if you get your story from multiple sources.
Where am I going with this? What is the point of this? What differentiates this blog post from any of the other blog posts that tell people to not trust the media? Do I have an ending for this? Hey, look a kittie.
