Why does the media call thugs wearing masks, throwing rocks, breaking things protesters?

Rioters are rioters. Don't give them credit. The only political position they are for is anarchy.Why does the media call thugs wearing masks, throwing rocks, breaking things protesters?
Real nice StellaStar. Nice to have people like you around.





In ANSWER to the question, because most of these ';demonstrations'; start out with a a reason and end up in a riot. The human mentality is an odd thing, isn't it?Why does the media call thugs wearing masks, throwing rocks, breaking things protesters?
StellaStar: ROFL





That was good.





In answer to the question: The MSM does what you describe, in a systematic effort to label all who publicly disagree, as ';kooks';, vandals and anarchist rioters (simple criminals)





The MSM (in bed with the rest of the corporations -- who are COZY with the power structure) has great disdain for protesters.





They don't want anyone upsetting their bread and butter, right?
Kudos to Stella and her answer. It is succinct and precisely accurate.





And those people at the Republican convention identified themselves as anarchists, and should be referred to as such.





And for the record - anarchy is the last resort of the disenfranchised and powerless.





Thanks bush!
Because the Republicans call thugs throwing bombs, shooting people at check points and torturing prisoners in secret hideaways ';soldiers defending freedom';





See - misnomers are everywhere
Because its at the Republican convention, you do notice that no menction is made of any ';protesters'; at the democratic convention.
Morons with no jobs is what I call them.
