The headline reads: Some far-left groups have goaded peaceful protests to turn violent, experts say.

Talk about slanted coverage: I'm sure it's just as much the far-right groups that are the perpetrators of violence. It was determined so in Minneapolis during the George Floyd protests.

1. Yes, we must remember the fiduciary responsibility of the senior producers of these 'news' reports is

ALWAYS and ONLY about generating PROFITS for shareholders. That is IT. No requirement at all for truth in news reporting.

So, while we may be looking at agent-provocateurs placed by neo-Nazi groups to foment violence so Trump can declare martial law and take over as a dictator just like Hitler did, they won't report that. After all, COINTELPRO was a tried-and-true method of undermining the massive civil disobedience that was creating change.

What is it that little teapot sang in the Disney movie: It is a tale as old as time...

4. Really it's from NBC News, reporting on actions of 2 groups: Unity of Fields, a radical-left anti-imperialist group and

the People's City Council LA, another anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist group.

5. I saw it on Yahoo, but they publish from other sources.

Is there a problem?

6. No problem, I just like to read the entire story, not just headlines.

7. The Brits blamed the Sons of Liberty and Sam Adams for the Boston Massacre and Bunker Hill.

There is always a bogeyman to blame for the violence inflicted by the protectors.

8. Oh, you're not even allowed to say "right wing" groups anymore in most media

There's left, far-left, and (as we learned even here on DU this week!), "normal people." That's it. That's the only three categories.
