But otherwise, the usual media narrative on these kinds of things is being kept nearly intact:

Bizarre #bbcnews reporting of Paris today. "Peaceful and good natured" says BBC as the pictures show Molotov cocktails flying. ?

“Peaceful”? How laughably predictable.
@NBCNewsWorld @NBCNews WOW! The spin on this! "Peaceful" march "turns violent"? They never intended to be peaceful, but you just have to use that word, right?

I just watched BBC news on Paris protests with video of 2 petrol bombs landing at feet of police and the reporter saying "all very peaceful" https://t.co/JaoC4M2x5p

If you throw a molotov cocktail at a policeman, you're a feckin' terrorist (at best a criminal), not a demonstrator.
