    I think that any coverage should simply ask organizers to comment.

    This is such a propaganda tactic: no one can stop someone from showing up with any flag they want. If the organizers embrace it? Then the criticism is fair game.

    But if they say something like ‘out of thousands of protesters who share our demand for peace, several brought inflammatory messages that don’t represent us’, then media has a duty to report that.

        Oh, that’s cool! I’m excited to check this out. I like their content. I don’t love it enough to keep up with it (especially because they’re a little long) but I’m interested to hear their take.

      That’s usually the argument leveraged against platforms that don’t fold to demands to deplatform individuals with reprehensible views.

      The good old “You’re either with us or against us” spiel is excellent at destroying any nuance.
