I'm just going to pick this quote from this thread as an example of the propaganda coming from the right about this situation.
Yes, there are looters, rioters, anarchists, criminals, and likely a few Antifa members among those protesting. But when you use a phrase like "hijacked" you are devaluing the vast majority of protesters and their cause. The protests haven't been hijacked. The vast majority of protesters continue to be focused on demonstrating dissatisfaction with police forces across the US.

True.
My issue is with how the media is portraying the protests.
When you see major news organizations popping headlines like 'America is burning', when it in fact isn't true at all, one does wonder if things didn't get 'hijacked' again. Just like they do after most protests when the media starts 'reporting.'
