Yes, I had already thought of the riots could be interpreted as "overthrow the government" by other countries, and that our heavily government controlled media is just reporting it as something different. Thankfully I don't think that's the case (or maybe they've just been successful).
I really agree with the top posting/bottom posting FAQ. Bottom quoting can be infuriating when abused.

Of course, it may be malice _and_ incompetence. If "police clash with rioters!" headlines weren't more grabby than "police stand back and everything is calm" headlines, there would be less incentive to have the police provoke mostly-peaceful protestors.
