If a bunch of people riot in the streets, most major platforms will cover the event. Not the statements of the participants, but the event itself, with some (perhaps distorted) mention of why they are rioting.

Reminds me of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Media: “they’re protesting, but gosh if we could only figure out why!” Protestors: “We’re protesting for economic justice and against inequality!” Media: “Huh… did you hear anything? I didn’t! We still have no idea what they’re protesting against, but they’re really mad looking!” Protestors: “We are against billionaires.” Media: “Well, I guess we’ll never know what they are so upset about!”
