Even as liberal media acknowledge that there is some craziness coming from college protesters over the war in Gaza, they can’t help but paint the protests as something they are not: anti-war.

This framing of the protests has become more popular recently, a last-gasp attempt by many in media to salvage the reputation of the protests as stories of antisemitic chants or Jewish students being assaulted continue to come to light. The Associated Press, Reuters, and Politico are among the outlets describing these protests as “anti-war,” with that framing being particularly popular at the Associated Press.
