Are we really going to have wall-to-wall coverage of campus protests again?

I don’t think I can take it. I.e. , renewed over-the-top media coverage of pro-Palestinian student protests around the country. The latest sign the media is eagerly preparing for campus protests to resume this fall, after a summer lull: The Globe had three (count ‘em – three) reporters covering yesterday’s “inaugural” protest of the school year at Harvard. … Sigh. … Next to come: The first “inaugural” media references to Vietnam War-era protests.

Update — Protesters demand to be taken seriously. But their actions are not treated seriously. Rita Koganzon explains at the NYT.
