you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

The New York Times also just kind of introduces Turning Point USA as this ambiguous entity without explaining what it is, or detailing any of its dodgy behaviors as a super shady right wing propaganda organization this kind of generous framing isn't done by accident

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

when I came into the media industry sideways via DSLReports dot com I'd get no shortage of snootiness from establishment journos who'd sneer dismissively at anybody that didn't rise through the ranks via Columbia now those very folks are the pinnacle of embarrassment when it really matters

Even the professor himself uses antifa 'group'. WTH??? “My role in this is as a professor,” Dr. Bray, an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers, said in an interview on Wednesday, hours before his planned departure. “I’ve never been part of an antifa group, and I’m not currently.

My journalism professor at the University of Kansas (circa 1980s) once answered a question about Columbia like this: Student: Do I need a masters degree from Columbia to be a reporter? Professor Pickett: You go to KU to be a journalist. You go to Columbia to teach.

I do not understand how Jack Poso has become a legitimate source for any news organization. At least they need to point out every time he heavily pushed the pizzagate lie inciting someone to go to the restaurant and fire shots into the ceiling.

TPA is an actual organization with buildings, logo, stationary, website, X account, IRS exemption, bank accounts, staff, a cafeteria, parking lot - the works! I have yet to see even one of these things under an Antifa banner. Anybody?

No surprises here. But past due time to stop calling the zionist owned maga funding NYT and zionist owned maga funding WaPo "news" outlets. They're war mongering liars and genocide supporting propaganda outlets.

Courses on anti fascism? Now would they involve history books and illegal stuff like that? You know, the ones with facts about who the US and their allies were fighting back in the 1940s. I am old enough to know that my parents went through Hell beating the fascists. I am proud they were antifa.

Think of all those major corporations that are still around today that supported the Nazi Party in the 1930s and '40s. Yeah, fascism is profitable. And the NYT wants to get in at the start for the current fascist dictatorship.

This is beautiful 🇺🇸 Please pass it on! We are Anti Fascism 💙 We Stand for Freedom, Truth & Justice for All #CallMeAntifa

MAGA has no actual thoughts in their heads. It's just an open jelly donut where Fox News supplies the jelly every day. Today's flavor: Anti-Antifa. Yesterday's: Bad Bunny is unAmerican with Portland war zone sprinkles. Tomorrow's: Free speech is bad for you.

first the w post, now the times mainstream journalism is dead thanks, free market fundamentalism and rightwing operatives thanks for making us Into n korea, in the name of liberty, you buncha motherless cunts

Ridiculous. The media have a lot of power to do influence the public. All they have to do is print the facts of what this regime is illegally doing. It’s that easy. It’s a choice. They pussyfoot around the truth bc they are too coward to call out what is actually happening by name.

meanwhile, Prof. Bray and his family were prevented from leaving the United States for Spain last night after going through TSA and awaiting boarding at their gate. At the moment they are at a hotel in NJ, and hopefully will try again today. It's suspicious, to say the least...

"I belong to no organized party; I am a Democrat" - Will Rogers, but also and better.... "A cannibal is a good deal like a Democrat, they are forced to live off each other."

I think we should encourage MAGA supporters to try to officially join Antifa on the sly. Then they can independently report back on how it went, and then we can compare their notes. Could be entertaining. (Would joining VFW count?)

I just assume that - except in critique - everyone using "antifa" is a fascist deliberately trying to obscure that they are against anti-fascism. Because who else would try to obscure that? Otherwise they'd spell it out.

I remember when yellow journalism was the National Inquirer and the NYT was our honest source for news. Now the only honest thing about NYT is Wordle - and on some days I ? that.

Jeez, everyone who has ever read the NYT style guide knows that they didn't capitalize it because it isn't a formal organization. You just have to read between the lines into the pedantic, self important subtext to get the whole story. Who doesn't know the NYT style guide front to back by heart???

this is what comes when liars are not sued for defamation. It's been going on for more than 10 years and for some reason, virtually no one ever holds them to account. the Sandy Hook families being one of the few and even they waited far too long to bring suit.

You'd also think that the NY Times understands that the antifa movement started right around the time of World War II, to fight Nazis and other fascists. And that's what the USA did!

It’s like 21 Jump Street’s episode about “punks” that had quasi-punk kids making pointless mayhem. None of that ever happened, it was a completely made up “crisis”, producers cashing in on punk rock’s popularity. Next, my analysis of The Cosby Show, Stevie Wonder episode… Jammin’ on the? 🇺🇸 ⚖️ 🗽

Lying by omission. Subtly propping up trumps lies and propaganda. Another example, all the news talking about crime levels, when trumps military occupation of cities has zero to with crime. Can we talk about reality please. We are all so, so tired of this sham. Wasted opportunities to tell the truth

Der Shitler has declared ANTIFA a terrorist organization. ANTIFA is Anti-Fascism. Fascism is what the world fought against in WWII. Nazi scum. Therefore, Der Shitler's declaration is an ADMISSION that MAGA is FASCIST. ...245,000~ Americans gave their lives in a fight against FASCISTS in WWII

The same rag that treats the response to Stephen Miller's comments on executive authority as "conspiracies." I'm sure that protesters telling the national guard to fuck off will be described as "colorful language directed at urban hikers" or something

Strongly suspect that NY Times, Wash Post & other major newspapers, tv stations refuse to explain what ANTIFA is really about so that their president can continue having his ICE patrols keep bashing suspected immigrants & claiming Portland is war ravaged. Gives them something to lamely cover--maybe.

The Ed Board and Publisher of the NYT are fascists, helped Trump come to power, have always been anti-working class. Seems perfectly normal considering the reasons NYT exists.

“Belonging to antifa” is interesting in itself. Not capitalized as a proper noun when used as one, but if it’s not an actual group deserving a proper noun than you wouldn’t belong anyway. Do they even know what it is?

It’s nonsense to say other media outlets aren’t covering the story. The ones I linked to are just a small sampling of them. I recommend reading some of them rather than trying to keep informed by way of word of mouth.
