How major German media hide true number, size of anti-government mass protests in Germany

Instructive analysis of the tricks used:

Tens of thousands take to the streets against the federal government... - reitschuster.de - September 20. Article is in German but should automatically translate to English. 

The media in question have found back-door methods to suppress news that points to criticism of the country's government.  The methods ensure that the majority of Germans simply don't know that increasing numbers of their fellow citizens are protesting how serious things are for the country at this time. 

Those outside Germany decrying the German public's seemingly sheep-like acceptance of bad leadership in the face of devastating fuel and economic crises need to read the above article.  

Most unsettling is that Germany's government is supposed to have minimal control over the country's media outlets.  The catch is that the largest outlets are owned by corporations that control the majority of news reporting.  For detailed information on Germany's media, see:
