Mainstream media blackout anti war protests

Mainstream media BBC, ITV etc black out/censorship of anti war protestors at Hillsborough. Local news BBC, did give us a glimpse of thousands of anti war protestors at Hillsborough, but that was all we got. The BBC/ITV dedicated about 10 mins to the tiny DUP George Seawright memorial PRO WAR rally in Belfast city center but failed to cover anti war protests in depth.

Although thousands of anti war protestors flocked to Hillsborough, the mainstream media preffered to focus on the tiny DUP George Seawright memorial PRO WAR rally in belfast city center.

When war first broke out most TV channels were reporting the protest - now they're given no space. A directive from the government propaganda machine or self-censorship??
