NBC Ignores Own Reporter and Crew Assaulted By Antifa in Charlottesville
News Busters ^ | 8/12/2016 | Nicholas Fondacaro

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.”

Things got super-heated when one Antifa protestor shouted “F**k you, snitch a** news b**ch. F**k you” and tried to either pull the camera away from the person using it or knock it to the ground. It was unclear in the video.

Despite the video evidence on the ground from their own reporter, NBC went to Garrett Haake, who was at the White House in anticipation of violence there as another white supremacist rally was set to be held. “Overnight, tense moments in the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, far left protesters heckling the media and chanting anti-police slogans,” he suggested at the top of his report. They actually used footage Perry and his crew shot but didn't show anything from their attack.

If they’re not reporting on it, it obviously never happened.

The media tried its best to whip up a race riot today in Charlottesville, but alas, they failed. There won’t be as many of them to celebrate the second anniversary next year. If it can’t boost ratings, what’s the point, right?

“”” ...NBC went to Garrett Haake, who was at the White House in anticipation of violence there as another white supremacist rally was set to be held... “””

Any time two or more white people get together it must be a white supremacist rally. I remember they called the TEA party racists because most of the people were white.

"Seems to be the attitude of the State Department after Hillary royally fcked one theirs at Ben Ghazi"

Hillary is a marginally talented narcissist who almost singularly demonstrates how pathetic, unintellectual, and overrated Yale Law School is - along with all of the falsely 'elite' institutions. It's amazing to me how unwarranted stature, at so many levels of society, gets accepted.

It's way past time to start holding people accountable on the basis of the reality of who they are - and not give passes to people on the basis of what institution they happened to have spent time at.

In a just world where a person would be judged by the content of their character, and their potential, works, and achievements, there would be no free ride for those who have pedigrees. They would have to compete at a real and fair level with everyone. Without question, this would weed out people like Hillary.

Oh!   Mustn't spoil the narrative!   Hmmm, who can we call a neo-Nazi supremacist today?

Did you hear Sarah Jeong of the Times is coming over to contribute some juicy hate-whitey content?  So exciting!  Can't wait to get back to the studio and put the videos together.

Being a journalist is so much fun.  If the news is only good and uplifting, the editors encourage us to "cook up" some alternate news — say, stir up a racial unrest so people are better drawn to our website's valuable click bait. 

Most of all I love the creativity of this work.  True, the pay sucks, but at least I get the satisfaction of being a kind of modern-day Trotsky, paving the way for the Cultural Revolution.
