I'm waiting in vain for some reporter to ask a random marcher what it's all about. I'm guessing they would express a staggering level of ignorance about the case but would, of course, be able to recite a litany of cliches.

A FOX News cameraman was attacked by a mask-wearing thug when the reporter tried to ask why the rioter thought looting a liquor store was an appropriate response to the no bill decision. Broke the camera; the reporter later came back on reporting over his smartphone.

As a famous radio talker said, the media do their job for other media; the audience is incidental.

That said, if you’re Fox why not camouflage yourself? Why not apply a Greenpeace sticker to your camera or wear a Che T-shirt? Access = information = exclusives and you just might document illegality. All the logos, satellite trucks, etc. are 20th century. Journalism, like combat, is not longer conducted in uniform with tidy little rules. These people don’t watch Fox anyway so they wouldn’t recognize a reporter.
