General Discussion

That's how it works with fascists and communists. It's what they do to disrupt things and turn people viewing it on TV against the cause, whatever the cause. Fox "New" viewers are lost souls who eat up the snippets of agent provocateur provoked violence and grind their teeth in anger and hatred for the immigrants and the immigrants' supporters. And that, of course, is the point of Fox News.

But viewers of the major (Corporation and Oligarchy owned) news media will do their bit, as well, to put out the lie that the protests are violent, that many in the crowd were seeking to destroy property and loot, steal, rape, etc. etc. The goal is not necessarily to turn viewers against the cause of the protests, but to suggest that the protests, themselves, can easily be taken over by violent factions trying to take over the movement.
