On 6 March 2016, the video of a protesting crowd embedded below was circulated along with the following comment about what it supposedly depicted On 7 March 2016, the unreliable web site ClashDaily also reported (in a piece bearing the title WATCH: Muslims in THIS U.S. City Chant ‘DEATH To America) that there had been a concerted effort by the news media to cover up an anti-American, anti-Israel march in Chicago: Mentions of the clip on social media invariably claimed that the event was recent and deliberately suppressed by the mainstream media. However, the clip was from July 2014, not March 2016: In addition to the video's being nearly two years old, it did not capture Muslim marchers chanting death to America. A description of the clip stated that it depicted a Protest in downtown Chicago. Palestinian supporters were protesting the bombings in Gaza. Claims that the footage received no mainstream media attention were also easily disproved, as videos were readily available through the Chicago Tribune, Chicago's ABC affiliate WLS-TV, the Chicago Monitor, and CNN's iReport.
