Why does the Liberal Media call all the protestors---Anarchists?!

I'm getting extremely annoyed by these people. I won't deny there may be a few Anarchists, but I doubt that many of them are. Why? Anarchists aren't people who would call for the Government to take some sort of action like take out Capitalism and hold the Capitalists responsible. They're the people who are anti-Gov. So to hear that these protestors are just summarized as Anarchists rubs me the wrong way. I get the feeling they are intentionally stigmatizing the actions of protestors as just trouble makers and their voices not worthy of recognition. Plus, there's this lurking questions always in the background..."are they acting up?" "Do you think it will turn violent?" <---What the hell? Is that always the case?! It's really frustrating. We have MSNBC calling them Anarchists over and over and over again. And we have CNN ONLY covering arrests. What the hell is their deal? At this point I'm ready to protest the media because they are most definitely pushing an agenda that is anti the right of citizens to speak out. To label and malign the people and their actions (which is what I'm getting) hurts all of us around the world in the end, not just those in London right now.

**This is not a post to bash Anarchists, but there is a genuine negative appeal about Anarchists--ie the Stigmatization of violent, disruptive, and angry people who will take out government by any means necessary. :eyes: Now they're putting it on non-violent protestors.
