"near total blackout"?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
It's on the front page of everything.
Really, please link mainstream media reporting what the students are saying.

There ya go; a selection of reportings regarding the mass student protests over the Israel/Gaza situation. I tried to include a variety, let me know if this isn't global/mainstream news enough. I can google some more.
Going out of your way to demonstrate how stupid you are
Show a single quote from the students where they state the reason for the protest and what their demands are.
It is funny seeing you racking Ls, you smug liberal.
