Compare Ben Carson News with MSM news. I think media that uses their position to incite riots should lose their broadcasting licenses.

'Numerous' Arrests as DC Protests Turn Violent
Black-clad activists angry about U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration smashed store and car windows in Washington on Friday and fought with police in riot gear who responded with pepper spray and stun grenades.
Washington police said they made "numerous" arrests.
"Pepper spray and other control devices were used to control the criminal actors and protect persons and property," the police department said in a statement. The statement added that two police officers had sustained minor injuries from "coordinated attacks" and that police vehicles were damaged.
About 500 people, some wearing masks and kerchiefs over their faces, marched through the city's downtown, breaking the windows of a Bank of America branch, a McDonald's outlet and a Starbucks shop, all symbols of the American capitalist system.
The crowd chanted anti-Trump slogans and carried at least one sign reading "Make Racists Afraid Again," a play on the New York businessman-turned-politician's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.
They also vandalized several cars and hurled trash cans and newspaper vending boxes into the streets before being largely dispersed by police about 90 minutes before Trump was sworn in at the Capitol a mile and a half (2.4 km) away.
