Why do anarchists seem to be more prone to action than some other leftist groups/Why do anarchists get most of the press these days? (lemmygrad.ml)

Title. Is it because looser adventurism gets more headlines? is it an image thing? Dunno how to articulate reliably what I'm thinking, just seems like all I hear about are "anarchists squat building", or about food not bombs (admirable work so I hear), or is it just down to difficulty in organising in other groups?

If we're focusing on media, recently, because of the word "antifa" being tied to anarchists and being used to scaremonger by the media. The media generally scaremonger with "communists" referring to external threats and "anarchists" referring to internal threats (unless its policy or a politician, those can be labeled anarchist or communist or socialist).
