Maybe they’re just not interested in mobs of youth. They ignored the mob at the WI fair too.
Just in badly behaving youth.
BTW, they are all there to see one man. The press would be interested in that fact if it were a celebrity, and there is no celebrity who could even draw such a number.
Plus it is newsworthy in that there are many who could not get in to the mass, as protesters are so numerous.
Most of these kids raised thousands of dollars on their own primarily to be with the Pope, and they’ll end up missing the chance due to the protesters.
And the will MOT cause a riot.
