It's not like the most important news always get the coverage they deserve. I don't care about the Powerball thing, but I'm concerned by the mass rapes in Europe. Guess what's on the news? I've watched TV yesterday. They talked about the protest in Germany, but not about the reason for the protest. So basically, you maybe be onto something, but it's old news already.

Don't watch TV, but I didn't realize there wasn't any coverage of those rapes - which seem to be all over voat. Maybe misdirection has been a thing for a while, and I'm just out of the loop.
