    Its interesting reading the reporting on this.

    BBC really buried the lede on why the protests are happening (I actually missed it on my first read) focusing on the facts of what’s happened with the protests and enumerating people calling for them to stop/tone down.

    Fox News (not linking for hopefully obvious reasons) started off by labeling the current Albanian government as Socialist, then went into the educational reforms that students are calling for before admitting that the protests started due to allegations of corruption associated with the Jared Kushner projects/deals.

    AP seems to have the best bead, which mentions the student protests, but focuses on the “Flamingo Protests”.

    I am eagerly watching to see what comes of this.

      Not an accident but a editorial choice that keeps being made at every major paper.

      By editorial here I’m not referring to an editor actually looking at articles (doesnt happen anymore) I mean that whoever puts the final word on these stories always has the same direction: cover the controversy but dont explain it.
