Because they have been doig it since the 60's and now have been stereoyped by those rallies. Nothig new here is what people really thnik. When people who rarely or noramlly do not rally its seen as somewting new and worth covering. Kind of like crying wolf often.

10k empty headed fruitloops from college who have been lied to and convinced of stupidity from commie college professors that the world is coming to an end.

I for one am glad the media didnt cover it. I hope they feel helpless and give up.

Who controls the media? Why don't they want Americans to know that a massive youth movement is building and their intent is to shift away from the old power structures; big oil; big coal; and move toward research and development that might leave a livable planet for these youth.

These youth have managed to have entire universities get off of coal fired power, and not just a few but many. These youth have managed to shutter old, dirty burning coal plants.

I found this interesting that there's no FOX, no CNN, no MSNBC. Take notice people; the movement is gaining momentum, and it is not going away. This is these kids' future that is at stake.

This is precisely why sites like Twitter and Facebook meet a demand. They aren't controlled by by oligarchs.
maybe everyone but the commie post realizes that only moonbats care about stuff like that?

Anyways, good for them. Any research put into alternative fuels to kill our dependance on fossil fuels is a good thing.
Right: FAFSA, Student Loans, and Scholarships aren't on their parents' dime. They're on the tax payers' dime! (Or thanks to the generousity of other working adults.)

Research is a good thing. Kids slacking off schollwork to hang out in a park and draw attention to themselves...?
