It looks like the media are thwarting the MAGA instigators' plans

They obviously intended to wreak havoc and sow so much confusion that the public would just assume the protesters were out of control. But, to their great credit, reporters are on the ground - many risking their safety - and telling the story in real time. They are taking great pains to clearly delineate what is happening and who is doing what.

As a result, the public is getting a clear look at what is actually happening and is much less likely to get caught up in hating on the protesters but are instead seeing a clear distinction between the peaceful protests and the MAGA thugs threatening people and destroying property.

I don't think this is how the disrupters and their handlers expected this all to go down.
