But as I turn on the TV and see all those protesters throwing rocks/bricks at people, destroying property, and blocking streets, I decided I don't want to be associated with them either.
Of course the news shows the handful of people being asshats, because they want more views.
They aren't showing the literal 10's of thousands of people across the country protesting peacefully, because it won't garner as many clicks or viewers. There were peaceful protests ALL NIGHT outside of Trump Tower last night, and exactly 0 big news orgs reported on it. Nothing, nada. It may as well not even be happening, as far as the big news is concerned.
Also, you think posting something anti-Trump would associate you with the negative protesters? Why? Do you think posting something Pro-Trump associates people with the racists? I thought you really disagreed with that kind of broad brush painting.
To be fair though CBC covered the protests last night but that just shows why Canadian and American news differ
