CRITIC REVIEWS

Well, to say something here about this piece and the publishing outlet would dignify and lend credence to yellow journalism. However, I'm a critic here at Credder and 'tis my duty to critique. Rest assured though that my review should not be at all considered an endorsement of sorts of this type of rubbish, er, "journalism".
Here we have a quintessential example of purely and finely wrought opinion masquerading as informative and unbiased reporting. The requisite authority figure is presented, copiously quoted, and then begins the yarn spinning. "News" of this sort is specifically designed to confirm the biases of those reading it. This could just as easily be a blog post from some dank, God-forsaken corner of the internet. Were it not posted by a national "news" outlet one might think so.
Having said all that, you're better off watching paint dry than reading this.

Do you notice the problem?
Quote: "Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday sent a letter to Nadler, the committee's chair, criticizing him for launching “fruitless partisan investigations” into President Trump while ignoring the threat of Antifa. The letter called on Nadler to denounce “left-wing violent extremism” and convene a hearing to investigate the unrest engulfing a number of cities across the country."

Red Herring
September 18, 2020
This article is not even false; it implies a falsehood that it does not state. At the end of July,a Democrat dismissed the significance of antifa violence in Portland:
Austen ‘Fleccas’ Fletcher: “There’s violence across the whole country. Do you disavow the violence from Antifa? … that’s happening in Portland right now … there’s riots…”
US Rep. Jerry Nadler: “That’s a myth that’s being spread only in Washington D. C.”
Fletcher: “Antifa in Portland?”
Nadler: “Yes.”
Fauxnews pretends that the Director of the FBI has countered, in mid-September, designation of the right-wing caricature of antifa as fantasy:
"we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa."
Obviously, anarchists are anti-fascist. That "some violent anarchist extremists self-identify with Antifa" does not confirm Fauxnews' antifa fantasy (nor does it say much about antifa).
Fauxnews doth protest too much. Merchants of doubt don't sell the truth. And Nadler is wrong! Fauxnews is spreading the myth of "Antifa in Portland" across the world.

I mean, this is about 80% quotes from senate hearings. There is virtually no journalist opinion included at all, in fact. Not sure why critics who actually read it would be so harsh, to be honest. Almost like they do not want people to read the synopsis of senate judiciary committe meetings where the director of the FBI was givibg testimony.

Would like to have more info on why Antifa is a terrorist organization. Once a member is identified how will they be prosecuted? Biden is against violence but certainly vague about what to do with the perpetrators. Democrats are afraid to damage their financial sources even if they are cause harm to society.
