Why is #JeffreyEpstein more newsworthy than the #BuddhistMonks and their powerful #walkforpeace ... no wonder mainstream journalism is dying. It has been poisoned by the very news it values @mailandguardian @guardiannews @dailymaverick

Every news network should play coverage of the #BuddhistMonks #WalkForPeace every hour. We are overwhelmed by bad news and toxic figures playing on a constant loop #CNN #BBC #SABC #aljazeeranews #Sky

Well done #Australia working to help #under16s get their #reallives back #socialmediaban

I hope Mrs Ramaphosa is in WashingtonDC because #mypresident @CyrilRamaphosa really deserves a hug. Well done on sticking to rule#1: You cannot reason with drunk or crazy. It is going to be okay ... any day now, we will wake up, and it will be over
