The media only reports protests they support...

America just loves anti-government demonstrations—but only in countries we don’t control. So if there are ethnic and religious riots in China, we support these. If there are leftist anti-government riots in Mexico, we support the violent suppression of say, teachers. The US is fixated on Iran’s robust demonstrations by angry voters. While ignoring identical stories in say, Peru. Not to mention, the Pentagon teaches staff that voters who are demonstrating against say, the Vietnam War, are ‘terrorists’.
