NBC lineup is outrageous. SPLC is a far left despicable hate group. Young is there to inject the race card. Bray will defend the violent hate group Antifa, the Brownshirts of the Dem Party.
Actually Young has been arguing against removing confederate statues, one of only a few southerners to do so publicly.

Should The Far-Right Be Confronted With Force? - NBC News
Richard Cohen, President of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and author Mark Bray discuss the Antifa movement and how they propose tackling the far right.
Newsbusters produced a critique. For those who don't watch the 7:33 video, the exchange presented below is accurate, and typical for what passes as "critical review of events and policy" by the press.
Really Chuck? MSNBC's Todd Aids in Promotion of Antifa Violence
The MSNBC host welcomed his guest with open arms, asking: "Mark Bray, you are writing this book Antifa, the Anti-Fascist Handbook. Explain this movement and its roots.""So anti-fascism goes back to the beginning of the 20th century when leftists of all stripes fought back against Mussolini and Hitler," Dartmouth "lecturer" Mark Bray claimed. "The main perspective of Antifa is essentially that rather than simply waiting for the threat to materialize, you stop it from the beginning." He even admitted that what they did in Charlottesville was try to deny a platform.
After confirming that Bray followed the radical beliefs of Antifa, Todd's next question wasn't about the legality or morality of using violence to shut down free speech. It was concerning Antifa making the neo-Nazi's look good. "What do you say to those that are concerned that: `Hey, you're handing -- you're allowing this -- these white supremacists to claim victim hood here,'" Todd probed. "What do you say to that criticism since the President is trying to essentially create a false equivalency here?"
Democracy Now and other outlets are even more supportive.

I found the Yale call for Mnuchin to resign, to be informative. An Open Letter to Steven Mnuchin
We, some of your fellow members of the Yale College Class of 1985, write to you today in response to President Trump's comments on the recent events in Charlottesville. We believe it is your moral obligation to resign your post as Secretary of the Treasury, effective immediately. We understand that graduates of Yale College have served the United States proudly as presidents, members of the cabinet, and in many other capacities since its founding, and that rarely, if ever, have any of us made such a request of a classmate, whatever our differences in political opinion have been.We do so today because President Trump has declared himself a sympathizer with groups whose values are antithetical to those values we consider fundamental to our sacred honor as Americans, as men and women of Yale, and as decent human beings. President Trump made those declarations loudly, clearly, and unequivocally, and he said them as you stood next to him. We can be Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and a number of other things and still be friends, classmates, and patriots, but we cannot be Nazis and white supremacists. We can disagree on the means of promoting the general welfare of the country, on the size and role of government, on the nature of freedom and security, but we cannot take the side of what we know to be evil.
We call upon you, as our friend, our classmate, and as a fellow American, to resign in protest of President Trump's support of Nazism and white supremacy. We know you are better than this, and we are counting on you to do the right thing.
The letter is incredible, but even more, to me, is reading remarks following reports of the letter, and reports on Mnuchin's response. The left literally believes that Trump is a nazi, or at least it is pretending to believe that, and wants the world to belive that. The belief suits their aims.
I'll predict Hannity calls him on the carpet and has him on the show.
