A 40,000 word article on a five-minute photo op:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_photo_op_at_St._John's_Church
It includes a minute-by-minute timeline, as if anyone cares. But the main event is paragraph after paragraph of every dumb-ass they can quote condemning Trump for displacing the mostly peaceful protesters. However, it was known almost from the start, and confirmed by a report released in June, that the police cleared the square of rioters to establish a perimeter and it had nothing to do with Trump's photo op, which undercuts the entire premise of the article. The article mentions this fact in passing, then goes back to excoriating Trump for something he didn't do.
The protesters are called "peaceful" about twenty times, although the article does mention that "several fires were set" (really, by who?) and "more than sixty Secret Service agents were injured, and eleven were transported to the hospital".
