Summary
CNN and Vox actually called out Antifa violence which some found surprising. Following this however activists in media called them out and criticized them for presenting a "false equivalence." The media tends to report the right as the violent ones but this is usually activist journalists at Huffpo and The Daily Beast. Larger outlets really are left with no choice but to report on this when 95% of the violence is from Antifa.

| 0:00.0 | I was really taken by surprise yesterday when Brian Stelter and Jake Tapper have seen |
| 0:03.6 | and called out Antifa violence. |
| 0:05.9 | The day before the United the right too rarely. |

| 0:36.7 | But the counter protest side was nearly a thousand or more, many of which were Antifa, |
| 0:42.0 | and there were reports that they were attacking cops and journalists, so it seems in the absence |

| 0:59.8 | people in the mainstream left don't say anything or embrace it. |
| 1:02.9 | And now that we're seeing individuals associated with mainstream media and mainstream news |
