Speaking at an Axios event Friday focused on the gun debate, Hogg was asked about where the news media tripped up in its coverage of the tragic shooting at his Parkland, Florida school that left 17 people dead.

“Not giving black students a voice,” Hogg responded, via Axios. “My school is about 25 percent black, but the way we’re covered doesn’t reflect that.”

Axios journalist and developer Alex Duner added on Twitter that Hogg said the lack of black representation was “disgusting.”

Maybe it's because his black classmates aren't running in front of every camera they can find the way David Hogg does. Just sayin'.

Anything else?  Maybe he can link free birth control into this somehow.

Unfortunately, Hogg says a lot of things and it doesn't appear he'll be stopping any time soon.
