I'm reading the wiki articles on the George Floyd 2020 protests and the Freedom Convoy protests together, alternating paragraphs, and the differences are interesting; the 2020 protest page feels more "factual" and the convoy protest page feels more "angry" to me.

The 2020 ones are clearly covered in better tones despite reporting stronger facts; like "it was mostly peaceful/for a good cause, and yeah a lot of damage was caused" whereas the Convoy protest is like "and then the protesters appropriated native culture by drumming"

Just give it time, it'd be interesting to compare the appropriate version of 2020 wiki article and not the current, polished one :)

WP's faults noted, its content tends to arc toward neutrality (or a widely-accepted facade of it) over time. In five years, the latter will probably look more like the former.

What do you estimate the relative economic impact of each to be?
