I don't see how the protesters hurt the situation. And I don't see how paying for newspapers helps it. I think that the protesters actually are a good thing. Protesters have caused revolutions before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution And if everyone is out of work protesting, and the protesters, using the shear weight of their bodymass, were able to surround the airports and not let anyone in or out, or surround the whitehouse (I'm sure there are tunnels, but running away doesn't look good). Then a protest, even a peaceful one, can be a very effective weapon.
