Coverage, Scant & Skewed
The Antifa beating of journalist Andy Ngo has been a big deal online, but not in the major press. Why? Because it is perceived as ideological. I read the Washington Post every day, and the only coverage I noticed was in a quotation from the major paper in Portland, Oregon, in the Post’s “Hot on the Right” column (placed to the right of “Hot on the Left”):
