What the coverage shows
CNBC and The Independent both foreground the scale of the protests and the weekend violence, while CNBC specifically adds that the demonstrations were against rising living costs and The Independent says people were protesting declining public services as well. 60 Minutes also emphasizes the protests erupting into violence but broadens the framing to economic discontent and the upcoming presidential elections. The Economist stands apart by not describing the weekend scenes in its headline, instead forecasting more violent protests and saying in the extract that core problems are going unaddressed.
