As if activists and investigative journalists.... were doing important work every day... and showing what work is actually being done (riots, protests, organizing, democratic process, truth-seeking), rather than just already-rich/powerful/influential talking heads talking about how they think everything should be.
It's also nice to hear people who are staunchly anti-violence.... rather than equivocating about how violence is a good method of punishment/reprisal/defense/policing/etc when [insert person/organization/political party/country] does it.
