• US: Last year, there is a yearlong black race riot in
Oakland, the United States. The story was reported around the world, yet people get nothing from the media in the United States, whether on newspapers, TV or radio broadcasters, even on Internet. According to BBC, the US government censored everything about the riot to prevent larger maybe nation-wide riot.

“The emergence in this election of social-
networking sites on the internet as a focus for
opposition politicking changed the tone of the
campaign. Even the docile mainstream media
were forced to devote more coverage to the
opposition, lest readers forsake them for the
newer outlets.”
—— The Economist
