A number of media outlets continue to hold water for the weekend's pro-illegal immigration protesters, as NewsBusters has reported, painting violence at many rallies as somehow unexpected or not representative of the larger movement.

May Day!

Here's a Fox News video clip of left-wing protesters throwing plastic bottles at a policeman's head:

"The conflict over a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona intensified Monday as vandals [left-wing opponents of the crackdown] smeared refried beans in the shape of swastikas on the state Capitol's windows."

The irony is that many people I’ve talked to believe the May Day riots were more widespread and violent than they actually were, but they figure the LSM is just covering it all up.

Yes, the LSM’s credibility really is so bad now that many people automatically believe they are lying and covering up for the left. Just like the people in the USSR when reading Pravda...
