It's fashionable when there are actual videos of what is going down.
For example, a cop pushed a protester off a 4' tall planter in Dallas. The police denied anything happened - until the police chief checked YouTube and saw citizen videos, the officer push the guy off for no reason. Officer is immediately suspended. Chief apologized to pushed guy.
Oakland police denied any culpability. Multiple videos show differently. ACLU filed police brutality charges against Oakland PD.
Berkely PD say they didn't do anything to protesters - but multiple videos show protesters standing still, and police rushing them and hitting in belly with truncheons.
You have to realize, that ABC, NBC, CBS, etc is NOT covering this. For example, right now, Occupy Wall Street is outside the NYSE. You can watch a no-audio helicopter view of some ants from WABC in NY, or you can march on the ground with the protesters, with Tim Pool, here, live for the day, with narration:

LOL - WABC is showing an empty Zuccotti park - but right now all the protesters are at the Stock Exchange, and it's only being shown on protester live cams.
