CHICAGO — Major news organizations are characterizing protests at the opening day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) as peaceful, despite chaotic footage captured on the ground by the Daily Caller News Foundation and other outlets.
The Los Angeles Times, Reuters, the BBC and the Chicago Tribune, among others, dubbed the pro-Palestinian protests outside the Democratic convention on Monday “mostly peaceful.” Video captured by the DCNF, however, shows protesters breaking through fences surrounding the convention grounds and fighting with police officers.
