Nets Side With Antifa Terrorists in ‘Literal War’ on Portland Streets
21st July 2020
It was just 24 hours ago that the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were playing stupid about the weeks of violence in Portland, Oregon, claiming there was “no explanation” for the Department of Homeland Security arresting Antifa terrorists trying to burn down the federal courthouse. Now, on Tuesday, those same networks took up positions on Antifa’s side of the battle line; blaming federal agents for the violence and chaos.
The CBS Evening News carried the most water Antifa’s thugs. “Tonight, the mayors of several big cities including New York and Chicago are warning the President not to send federal officers to patrol their streets. The mayors are alarmed by the ongoing violence in Portland, Oregon where protesters have battled for weeks with police and officers from the Department of Homeland Security,” declared anchor Norah O’Donnell, suggesting federal agents were the problem.
Even though federal agents had been responding to attacks on the courthouse for well over 50 consecutive nights, correspondent Carter Evans painted DHS officers as a roving band of assailants targeting innocent protesters. “Round after round of tear gas and rubber bullets fired into the crowd by federal agents is becoming a nightly routine,” he began his report.
