I find it tiresome when people act like the media have no choice in what to quote. Why quote it as 'vandalism' and not "riverside destruction"?

The media, which is owned and controlled by the ruling class, choose how to frame stories. They have reasons for their choices. You can pretend that the BBC is unbiased if you wish to remain ignorant, but my refusal to do so has nothing to do with a high horse and everything to do with my frustration with mainstream media relentlessly defending the interests of the ruling class and minimizing the harm they cause.
