A leftist friend (we've known each other for 25 years) just told me Andy Ngo is not a reliable source during a discussion.

Anybody know anything tangible that might disparage Andy's reliability?

Just want to know if there is something I'm unaware of.

Negative. Ever since he was put in ICU from an ANTIFA concrete "milkshake", he's been likely the most reliable reporter during all of this domestic terrorism.

All things being equal, my thought is “Once a leftist identifies a dissenter, they are immediately unreliable regardless of what they say.”

A relevant question to ask your friend might be who they consider reliable sources. If they don't consider Andy a reliable source, they should be able to tell you why also.


Then you can do your own research to figure out if he is or not.

Ask you leftist friend what qualifies as a reliable source.

That will tell you all you need to know.

Is your friend a member of Antifa?

Ngo's rep is fairly solid.

For some inexplicable reason, peaceful antifa sunshine spreaders beat Andy to bloody pulp. He's been exposing them ever since

He usually has video or photographic evidence to back up everything. That makes him pretty credible in my book. Plus he usually names names and doesn’t rely on “unnamed sources”. As a former journalist those are the 2 big keys on determining whether or not something is bullshite.

They typically call him a grifter because he's devoted his life to exposing their darling antifa

He's one of the last of a dying breed - a "journalist" - a reporter willing to go wherever to get the story and tell it to you.

He's critical of ANTIFA therefore he's a facist.

It's just that simple for progressives.

Your friend is an idiot.

He is a gay Asian man that is willing to risk being killed in order to expose ANTIFA.

Andy Ngo is only considered unreliable because he covers antifa in a negative way.

Andy Ngo posts videos of Antifa doing Antifa things. That's why Democrats don't like him.

I mean, since when have Democrats been worried about the reliability of their news sources?

If someone who gets their information first hand, on the ground, with video evidence - is considered unreliable... your friends with a moron.

I had a few like that. They stopped talking to me when i pointed out that they didn’t even know the Paris accords didn’t hold anyone responsible to hit their targeted co2 reductions.

Facts are inconvenient when you aren’t able to process anything not spoon fed to you.

Andy Ngo is probably one of the MOST reliable sources out there. Dude doesn't report based on unnamed sources...he's out there videoing the stories first hand as they happen. I don't know how much more reliable your friend can ask for?

Like you would with anyone, you should assume Andy has his own motives and biases.

I think most of his coverage is legitimate, at least as much so as any normal media source. I do think he's in a personal war with the Portland leftist community and that he probably takes liberties in how he characterizes things.

But I think if most journalists were at least as honest as Andy Ngo, the media in this country would be exponentially more trustworthy.
