How to read the corporate media on Brazil uprising

Backlash grows against Brazilian protests after riots | Reuters: " A backlash against Brazil's nationwide protests took hold on Friday"

Backlash - paid and unpaid goons unleashed to beat up leftists and create terror

"after widespread rioting"

Riot - a peaceful protest, viciously attacked by riot police

"...There may be no easy response to the unrest"

No easy response - the people cannot be allowed to win

"...vandalism...masked youths looting stores, setting fires and defacing buildings"

Vandalism - agents-provocateurs, usually off-duty police, creating feelings of chaos

Yes, there are bad elements among the people, but history has shown that they usually have a connection to right-wing politics, organized crime, law-enforcement, or all three.
