  Don't See Any Media Coverage In Your Area?

  If your local, regional, or national media isn't reporting on your most recent and most epic there are a couple of possible reasons: They forgot to bring cake to the protest and are terminally embarrassed. They don't know all the words to Fresh Prince, or worse actually like the Rickroll. They are scared shitless of being annihilated by the Co$ legion of evil lawyers.

  Or they might just not realise how interested the average person is in the epic struggle.

  Just contact your local media outlet as a concerned and interested citizen, let them know how much you'd love to see some coverage of those wacky kids battling The Great Satan, and give them the idea that more coverage of this could rack up their advertising revenue. Here is some general contact info:

  • The BBC
  • Fox
  • Metro
  • CNN
  • Sky
  • ITN
  • Bloomberg
  • Wired
  • time
  • NBC
  • Sky
  • Bloomberg
  • Wired
  • NBC
  • ABC(Australia)
  • Today Tonight (Australia channel 7)
  • Channel 9 Australia

  Or even send in your version of events for them to rip off as their own work
