The violent protesters are the ones discrediting themselves. It's troubling that you don't want this information reported on.

- ordinary 10y agoWhen, say, 100000 people are out on the street protesting something (anything), and 5 of them throw a chair through a window, then yes, I would prefer the media to focus on the 99995 who engaged in peaceful protest. Those 5 do not just discredit themselves, but in the eyes of the people who weren't there, they discredit the entire protest. By focusing on a handful of black bloc anarchists rather than the overwhelmingly peaceful majority, the media intentionally or unintentionally aids those in power.
