Have you noticed how little news coverage there is over the fight by Native Americans to preserve their land from the "greedy bastards in North Dakota?  Native Americans are thought of by many as 2nd or 3rd class citizens and therefore have no rights.  Rights to lands they were once banished to when it was thought it was a wasteland where they could be hidden away. 

Of course the main reason there is no news coverage is because the "greedy bastards" own the media and only allow what they deem important as news.
