    Aaron Bushnell got CNN to say the word Genocide on live TV. Even when talking about marches with 1 million people CNN called it war.

        The Buddhist monk didn’t keep staying in the news for 20 years either. The world moves on. They want new stuff every day.

        Global attention for a cause for (more than) a day achieved by a single person absolutely extraordinary.

          Oh you mean the monk who set himself on fire in 1963? And totally stopped the Vietnam war by 1973.

      I could make CNN say “babaabooey” if I put it in a manifesto prior to setting myself on fire.

      They’ve said “genocide” before. This did nothing but silence one voice.
