Quick fact

Simply adding the word 'riot' instead of 'demonstration' in a news report can significantly shift public support away from the protesters and toward police action, even when all other facts are identical.

Why this is interesting

You're reading about a protest. One article calls it a 'riot', another calls it a 'demonstration'. Same event, but you might leave with very different feelings—how does that change what you think should be done?
