This is the big red headline on the Daily Beast website:
"WANTED BOYS
NYPD Looks to Charge 9 Proud Boys With Assault for Manhattan Fight"
In much much smaller print below that one:
"Three protesters described as antifa are also wanted after police say they threw bottles and punches during the incident."
Quote:
First paragraph of story:
"The New York Police Department announced that it has enough evidence to charge nine members of the right-wing group Proud Boys and three protestors with various counts of rioting, assault, and attempted assault in connection with a brawl that erupted between the two sides a few blocks from a city Republican club following a speech Friday by Proud Boys leader Gavin McInnes."

8 (that's right 8) paragraphs down you learn of a video showing Antifa started it.
Quote:
"Video shows protesters, whom police described as antifa, and Proud Boys in the middle of the block on 82nd Street brawling approximately three minutes after Proud Boys left the club. Police believe six protesters, shown on video wearing black masks, headed north, and circled the block to “intercept” the Proud Boys on 82nd Street between Park and Lexington avenues, Shea said."

Now, I'm not sticking up for either one of them. I'm just pointing out biased media coverage. I'm just surprised they didn't throw a few unnamed sources into their fable about the sainted "protesters."
