Part 10/16:
Nick criticizes mainstream media for spreading false narratives and misinformation that tarnish the protest's image. He recounts how police and city officials have downplayed the scale and peacefulness of the demonstration, claiming violence or danger where there is none.
He emphasizes the importance of alternative media—social media, cell phones, and independent journalism—in revealing what’s truly happening on the ground. For instance, reports of theft or violence are unsubstantiated; instead, the community is showing compassion—feeding the homeless, supporting local businesses, and maintaining cleanliness amidst the blockade.
