I have no respect for Fox News, but this is pretty much a non-story. They ran an image of two photos from the unrest in Seattle mashed up together alongside stories of the unrest in Seattle. It wasn’t like it was from Gaza or Escape from New York or something. And in TV news terms it was probably run as a graphic and not a photo of the action on the ground. It’s also worth noting that the resulting photo is really no more shocking or scandalous than the source photos.
Photoshopping an armed man into a photograph from days ago and implying it was an on-the-ground example of the area is more than a little egregious.
If this resembled the current situation even remotely, they would have simply used one of the many photos from the countless on the ground photographers.
Saying this is a non-story is absolutely mind boggling.
Of course, if it had been CNN or any other mainstream media outlet this thread would be packed with comments ranting about the liberal media complex, fake news and manufacturing consent.

It's Fox, though, so it's not a big deal.
The fake city aflame and the photoshop are surprisingly crude fakes though.
