ABC, CBS Downplay Antifa Terror as Just ‘Foolishness,’ Spin Shooting

So if it is a left wing riot it is down played and the liberal media justifies it. If it is right wing it ois terrorists and insurrection. Shows the double standards ans hypocrisy of the democrats. These people put democrat party first and journalism last

Left-wing terrorism is getting a polished shine by the liberal broadcast networks. During their Tuesday updates on the Antifa terrorist attack at the construction site of a police and firefighter training center in Atlanta, Georgia, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings took different approaches to spinning the incident. ABC simply called it “foolishness,” while CBS called them “demonstrators,” touted a supposed “broad coalition” that opposed the project, and dismissed a cop getting shot.

“Now, we’re going to go to Atlanta where 23 people are now facing domestic terrorism charges after an attack against police where rioters through explosives and Molotov cocktails at officers,” ABC co-host Michael Strahan announced before handing it off to correspondent Steve Osunsami.

As if it was some kind of defense, Osunsami argued that of the 23 charged with domestic terrorism, “only two are from Georgia. They're from Utah, Arizona, far away from here. One person is from Canada. Another person is from France.”

What does their state or country of origin have to do with the terrorism charges, Steve? The 9/11 hijackers were still terrorists despite not being from New York, Washington, D.C., or even the United States.
“They're fighting to save the woods that the police training center would replace but also saying that they're trying to keep police from militarizing,” Osunsami hyped their motives. He then lamented that the terrorist attack “put local civil rights groups in a strange position where they agree with the idea not trying to militarize the police but are also trying not to support any foolishness.”

Osunsami also wanted to “underline” that the training center was “approved by lawmakers at the state and local levels, Democrats and Republicans of all colors.”

Yet, he refused to give any ideological label to the left-wing domestic terrorists in Antifa who attacked the construction site.

Over on CBS, correspondent Skyler Henry opened his report by describing how “demonstrators” – not left-wing terrorists – were “wearing masks and holding shields” while “swarming the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, hurling fireworks at police officers and lighting construction equipment on fire.”

His report also seemed to blame the construction project for the terrorist attack. He played a soundbite from “community organizers,” one of which proclaimed: “The current plan will heighten tensions and harm communities for decades.”

Henry would tout how “a broad coalition opposes the project.” The supposed broad coalition ranged from “environmentalists concerned about the potential destruction of Atlanta’s South River Forest to local civil rights leaders who say the project will further militarize police.”

In that latest domestic terrorist attack on that police facility, I can see the terrorists caused at least half-a-million in damages mostly by felony arson.

Anti-Antifa is, by definition, pro-fascist.

It's interesting [and disturbing] how many of our "contributors" are so happy to identify themselves as such.

Um... tell me... how many "Antifa members" are there that caused that much damage?

This should be fun.

There were about 100 rioters / terrorists in that attack on the police center construction area. Of that 23 have been arrested. They--from the available video--burned a large wheeled tractor I'd estimate worth between $75,000 and $150,000, a couple of smaller vehicles worth say $20,000 to $40,000, a trailer mounted generator, several mast work light trailers, a container that was converted into a construction office, among other things.

All that was unarguably felony arson, and every rioter present was an accessory to that felony.

Antifa, and radical leftist mobs almost always cause such damage during riots they start.
