Anyone on the Left a little uneasy about the media's coverage of Charlottesville?

Look, we know you can't stand Trump. But is there a part of you that feels the media has been at least a little irresponsible here?
I submit these 2 items as evidence:
1)
2)
1) is a tweet from a New York Times reporter, who had absolutely no motive to tweet what she did if it weren't the truth.
2) is the damage ANTIFA did at Berkley. These "alt-left" groups have had a history of destroying property and physically attacking people.
And yet, despite the above, the media has acted as though this was a group of peaceful people who would never hurt anyone. Do you not see this?

Do they seem uneasy?
The most rabid, BamaDeranged types, don't have any issues with being under the CNN spell. They relish in Don Lemon and crew's outrage. They roll around it like a dog rolls in a carrion, eat it like a dog eats cat poop.

It is supremely obvious at this point that the left not only doesn't rebuke ANTIFA, they have now welcomed them in to the fold.
Despite serious protestations from our resident lefties.

Even if they could see it I don't think they would admit it.

I mean, it's abundantly clear, they were a pretty essential cog in every bit of foolishness that's going on right now.

They have both been extremely irresponsible

most leftists won't even admit ANTIFA has a long history of using violence against non-Nazis b/c that doesn't fit the mythology they're creating

I don't know any avowed Democrats who have any issues at all with lying.
Independents are different.

They got mad as frick when I pointed out they were lining up in support of ANTIFA early in the week.
Alas.
As usual. I was correct. And the little fricks all fell in line.

to an extent, yes.
fair or not, white guys marching with torches to protect a confederate symbol is going to get the focus of the cameras. that's easy to identify.
A mishmash group of protestors without a mainstream identity prior to that weekend, is a little more nuanced.

Antifa sucks, but I'm not going to lose much sleep over them beating up some slimeball Nazis or white nationalists. Those assholes deserve to get their arse beat.
If that makes me a bad person, so be it. Equating the two groups is laughable, and it's the same thing Civil Rights opponents did in the 60's by disparaging the NAACP.

I think the establishment has their heads to far up their own asses they don't realize how much ANTIFA and the like clashes with the average working class, Midwest Democrat voter.

Well. You really didn't lose sleep when they were beating regular folks either.
Just sayin...........

Then they deserve all the scorn they receive. That shite they did at the inauguration was shameful. What they did in Berkeley was shameful. frick them for it.

This is actually correct.
In the last 18 months, only one of these groups has declared war on allowing people they disagreed with to peacefully assemble.
They aren't equal. ANTIFA is worse. TODAY, ANTIFA is worse.
Posted on 8/18/17 at 11:15 am to RidiculousHype
They are mostly just pissed off about the alt-left label.

Who is defending Antifa? I'm serious because I would like to call them out.
