NBC News Ignores Antifa Attack On Their Own News Crew In Charlottesville
Information Liberation ^ | Aug. 12, 2018 | Chris Menahan

NBC News has ignored the story of their own reporter and news crew being attacked in the streets of Charlottesville by Antifa marchers on Saturday.

From NewsBusters: On the one-year anniversary of the deadly Charlottesville protests, white supremacists and radical leftists known as Antifa descended on the Virginia town once more to commit more violence. Late Saturday night, NBC News reporter Cal Perry and his crew were in the thick of it as Antifa members ganged up on them and attacked. The next morning, NBC’s Sunday Today ignored the attack and suggested the media was simply “heckled” by their assaulters.

On Twitter, Perry was documenting the protesters as they marched through the streets of college town when they started to get “very aggressive with the media” and trying to block their camera shots. “Yeah. We’re getting a lot of this. Protesters trying to grab our camera,” he responded to one Twitter commenter telling him to “f**k off national media vulture.”

As far as I can tell, it’s mostly been Antifa vs. the police......There are, and never have been any “White nationalists” involved in Charlottesville. These people are ALL invited leftists who were set up by the left to take the rap.

Yep. Have the Obama and OWS-supporting Kessler to round up a bunch of Nazi retards wearing MAGA hats to represent "typical" Trump voters. Get David Duke and Richard Spencer to show up. They'll do anything to get in front of a camera.

Fortunately, it appears this year that cooler heads prevailed and weren't going to fall for the same stunt twice.

How odd is it that the left, which fancies both edudacted and erudite, can only cream “f**k you”, “thugs”, “scum” and all other manner of monosyllabic putdowns??

That’s one “heck” of a heckling.

It looks to be very staged, with Antifa vs. “Fa” [aka Unite the Right].

Dear Lord! When will we have enough of this folly. Maybe it won’t be until we learn to lean on You so that we don’t fall into the folly at every turn.

Exactly, mostly the left showing up to start trouble. Antifa thugs bused in.

I’d like to write a very sardonic song about it all, in the vein of Ray Stephens’ “The Streak.” Sometimes a mocking send-up is the best expose that can be done.

Yep. Compare the treatment Acosta got at the Trump rally, and later complained about, to the “peaceful” Antifa described in this thread.

Bread and circuses paid for by George Soros...and liberal elites...

The ‘press’ loves it so we know dems are behind it, paying for the buses, hats, weapons and jokers.

NBC didn't want to cut into the rating by being honest about democrat thugs. Commiefas...

It’s propaganda. There is no news anymore. Just propaganda for the Democratic Party. If it does not advance the marxist agenda, it does not get reported. NBC circled the drain a long time ago. It is sad how many people still are not aware of the scale of their bias.

A preview of what will happen if there is a Civil War, especially a race war in the US. The white liberals will get attacked and the pansies will be defenseless and they’ll find out what true racism is all about

NBC certainly seems fascistic.

I can see #TheResistance going after them.
