[/quote]
The same way that everyone who thinks it's okay for Ngo to take pictures at a public event is a right wing lunatic.[/quote]

He’s not just taking pictures. He’s selling a narrative. [/quote]

The videos and pictures speak for themselves.  
Do you deny that there are a number of anarchists/antifa causing destruction in Portland nearly every night for the past year?[/quote]

I’m not denying that there are anarchists causing trouble, and breaking the law. I’m denying that antifa is trying to take over the country. I am denying Andy Ngo’s victim narrative. Plenty of real journalists were injured by the police last year. Did Ngo cover any of that? Seems counter to his mission of uncovering antifa. [/quote]

Not to mention why only focus on Antifa?  Why not Patriot Prayer or Proud Boys or other extremist groups who've engaged in street violence, vandalism and destruction?[/quote]

He focuses on BLM, too. [/quote]

Meh, not really.  He "focuses" (if you want to call it that) on anyone on the left to protest for any reason whatsoever and then indiscriminately just lumps them all together into some generic "BLAMTIFA" bucket.  For someone who's theoretically been "investigating" them for the last several years you'd think he'd at least have a more nuanced take on it, but no - to him everyone is "Antifa" including any Tom Dick and Harriet homeless person or meth head to get arrested in Multnomah County because he'll then post their mugshots and claim they are "Antifa."[/quote]

Meh.  If he focused on exposing PBs (but not antifa), you’d be giddy with glee.  Sorry, can’t take your “criticisms” seriously.

He does much worse than "not focusing on" PB's.  He hangs out with PB's, feeds them information, and is a Proud Boy sympathizer.  When Proud Boys are committing criminal violent and destructive acts in front of him he turns the camera off.  NO honest journalist does that.   [/quote]
Unlike all those other reporters, who roll their cameras 24/7, and show you all of it, on live feed. They are so honest to make sure they catch all of it.  :roll: [/quote]

Yes, as a matter of fact there are plenty of other journalists covering street protests.  In fact Andy Ngo gets many of the photos and videos that he publishes from others.  The fact that you don't know this just makes you look naive.

But many of the other on-the-ground journos covering street violence think Andy Ngo is an idiot.  Take Tim Pool for example - he got his start years before Ngo, covering the Occupy movement but then also did things like look into "no go" areas in Europe, went to Venezuela to cover what was going on there as well.  Pool and many others don't try to play games with the folks they are covering like wearing Antifa cosplay and skulk around as Ngo did, and they bring security.  But not Ngo.  Tim Pool's reaction was "WTF is Ngo thinking" - Ngo can't get within 50 feet of those folks in Portland because they know who he is. He CANNOT "go undercover" because of that.  Sheer stupidity of Ngo to think he could dress up in black bloc and "infiltrate" a group that knows exactly who he is and can spot him from a distance.[/quote]
So I'm naive because I didn't know that there were other reporters in the world doing the same thing and it's alright to beat up some reporters not others.  I wonder if there is more to this than that.  What's different about a guy named Ngo that makes it okay to beat him up?[/quote]
