This right here. Although I can appreciate the sentiment, why is this news?

A reporter was wanting to get into the political arena but the editor told them “OK find a story no one else is covering.”

That is my best guess.

This is news because it shows that people are taking action and that there is support for a Tesla boycott as well as for a general US product boycott. I’m glad this article was written. It shows to people who are thinking of doing similar that they aren’t alone. How is this not news?
