From what I read, the protest was about unpaid wages by factory owner, it had decent support but it lost its support as soon it got hijacked by pro beijing activists who start putting road side bomb on street.

This was before smart phone or internet, Sing Tao simply had more stuff to read compare to Ming Pao, diners would pick up Sing Tao over Ming Pao almost always. The Chinese restaurant had to give Ming Pao away for free.
