4. CBS did a blah blah blah as well, no context, no insight, no real reporting

[Ilsa]

5. NBC mentioned it is the largest gathering of

Native Americans, and numerous celebrities were protesting there as well. They had brief footage of the police dogs being used to threaten and attack people. I saw Mark Ruffalo. Overall, I think there was a hint of how lopsided the forces are being used against the protestors. The govt looked bad, trying to defend the commercial interests of an energy company. The pipeline map and its proximity to large potable water sources was presented.
