Over the weekend, Antifa anarchists draped in black masks and carrying home-made weapons disrupted a peaceful demonstration and counter-demonstration in Berkeley, CA. The violence from the alt-Left group was so obvious and one-sided that even the Washington Post framed their article with no uncertain condemnation of the thugs in their headline: Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley.

And, more importantly, why isn’t the media demanding Democrats do so in the same way they demanded Republicans condemn neo-Nazis and White Nationalists?

I can’t cite sources either but I too have seen some softening of the MSM reporting and even an occasional reference using The Forbidden Word: ANTIFA.

“Antifa is the muscle of the democRAT party.”

Or better known as “The Brown Shirts.” Shades of Nazi Germany.

"I don’t know about ‘communications’ as a major, but I still have NO CLUE why a 4 year degree is needed for ‘journalism’. Seems to me that the job is finding news (and that’s usually spoon-fed) and writing stories. Any decent 2 year grad can handle that just fine."

Communication? As with journalism, it's closely connected to English departments. For one, some of the graduates try to get into broadcast news/propaganda.

You said it well, though. Well said and true.
