Yep, especially with actual violence making for even better clickbait, you can bet any negative stories will be massively pushed by certain elements of the media, drowning out intended messages.

The ES' headline says it all really. It's a jorno's wet dream.
The ridiculous thing is that there had already been a soft launch of the idea of disrupting the tubes in the first round of XR protests. The public and media reaction was immediately - "why would you disrupt a green form of transport" - it's such an obvious gotcha you'd have to have learning difficulties not to see it coming.

It's an inevitable problem. You'll always have fringe elements acting like knobs.
The challenge is this will go viral, so even randoms who aren't effected are going to take a view.
