Why are strikes portrayed negatively by SA media ?

[Sprinkly]

Ayiza, have you ever been caught in one of these strikes? Some of the people (not all) Just succumb to a mob mentality using the strike as an excuse to break things, threaten people and generally behave badly. The media just portrays what is happening ... what do you want them to do ignore what the strikers are doing? Ignore that people are being threatened with bodily harm? Or perhaps even applaud the fact that the strikers are behaving badly? There are more effective ways to protest.

It is not the media that is being negative or "killing the SA spirit" it is the selfish individual strikers who are behaving badly who throw the focus off the cause and onto their behaviour.
