It was so frustrating watching some people treat him like he was anything close to a real journalist. He's just the designated propagandist.
Many issues with this headline, but one of them is the word journalist, which implies some form of neutrality. The headline should either be a L out a journalist that writes about antifa, or a pro-facism activist. I suspect from the context (Fox) that it’s the latter.
I believe that's Andy Ngo, so yes, absolutely a pro-fascist activist. He was caught on camera actively coordinating with Patriot Prayer, a far-right extremist group.

It's crazy how many people just on this meme think antifa is an actual organization. 🤦
How else they are paying their demonstrators money for each demonstration?
Soros, Bill Gates and the Bilderbergs, I guess? Probably also that Davos guy who Alex Jones et al TOTALLY aren't fixated on for antisemitic reasons either, nuh-uh!
/s in case it isn't abundantly clear

I seem to recall seeing a video or reading an article where they mention that the media turned antifa into a sort of separate word to warp its meaning. Instead of saying anti fascist, which has a clear meaning, they shortened it and changed the pronunciation 'an teefa' (something to do with which syllable you emphasise) so they could distort its meani g and demonise the word to make people think it was bad.
So now people dont realise antifa means anti fascist which is surely a good thing to be, and instead, they fear antifa as some kind of terrorist group, which is almost the opposite of what it is.
The funny thing is, as an outsider to this, living in the UK, our media doesn't ever use the term, and when i heard it, my instinct was to look up its meaning. It's interesting to me that i won't know if i would have fallen for it if the media were using it in the same way over here to lead my understanding of its definition
I think Antifa actually started in the UK even before the Nazi's. Eh actually not but they did fight against fascists in the UK as early as 1930.
The reason why we need antifa and why it's hated by the mainstream is because the establishment is notoriously bad at stopping fascism. There is a long history of it. So besides liberal antifa that uses legal means like suing the KKK out of existence, the autonomous antifa is actually needed for the continued working of our democracy.
Antifa (Antifaschistische Aktion) under that name started in 1932 as action by the KPD to organise widest possible front against the nazis, in the face of SPD as a party being very reluctant to act against nazis. Many SPD members did joined, but as we know, their own party in reichstag made that futile.
Of course antifascist resistance is about as old as fascism or even older considering protofascists activity even before Mussolini coined the term, but the name itself is from 1932 KPD.

Anti-antifa... That's just fascism with extra steps.
"Fascist journalist fears for life." I fail to see where the problem is. People would have been cheering this in 1945.

Be careful when you punch a fascist. You might hurt your hand/wrist. Best to read up ahead of time.
Someone mentioned antifa at work the other day, and I said, "Antifa? I'm in. Shitting on fascists has been an American pass time for a century or better."
The looks of shock and horror on my coworkers faces was quite the sight to behold.

It's more than just "fascist journalist". Journalists report facts (at least that is what they're supposed to do), any "blah blah journalist" is just "blah blah"
Also, fuck this guy, he doesn't fear for his life, it's just a made up story so they can again shit on those they hate.

Isn't this the asian guy who doesn't understand that white supremacists only like white people and claimed to be suing the CEO of Antifa for damages that never actually happened?

Finally I understand what antifa means.
I am not American and have been out of the loop for years now.
It was deliberately shortened to antifa and pronounced in a different manner to let conservative news media separate antifa from anti-fascism.
