French intelligence report and conservative outlets link far-left and Islamist groups to riots in France
French intelligence services produced an assessment identifying far-left groups including Antifa as central to violence during nationwide riots in France. Conservative U.S. outlets cited a Fox News investigation identifying 54 radical left and Muslim organizations supporting the protests, and highlighted alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties to one student group. President Trump and French officials traded blame over immigration and political responsibility for the unrest.

The split, in one line
All six outlets share the same villain list, but they split on who is ultimately to blame: some point at Macron's immigration policy, others at Mélenchon's far-left, and one at the media's 'mostly peaceful' framing.
