He was beaten up by Antifa when covering one of their riots.Gagliano wrote , "The viral images are sickening. Andy Ngo, a photojournalist and editor at the online magazine Quillette, who has made a cottage industry of exposing instances of manufactured hate crimes, was viciously assaulted while covering an Antifa rally held as a counter-protest to a rally of right-wing groups, including the Proud Boys, in Portland, Oregon. Antifa derives from anti-fascist, and is associated with aggressive, hard-left activism. The video shows masked protesters circling Ngo, punching and hitting him and dousing him with a milkshake, then following him as he flees. One hurls something at his back."The paragraph said , "Police said three of the injured people received medical care at area hospitals. Among the people injured over the course of the afternoon was Andy Ngo, the conservative writer who appeared to be attacked by Antifa members."Appeared to be... Five months later, Antifa is still in Portland attacking journalists. Only this time, the journalists are liberal, not conservative. The Oregonian is most upset. It reported , "Activists work to block journalists from full, accurate coverage of occupation outside ‘red house’ in N. Portland." The story began, "Journalists attempting to cover the activist-led occupation along a blocks-long stretch of North Portland have been repeatedly intimidated and, in some cases, roughed up by protesters. "A local television news team and a freelance photographer for national outlets are among those to detail such encounters during the anti-eviction demonstration over the so-called Red House on Mississippi, where a black and indigenous family has lived for decades. "Photographers for The Oregonian/OregonLive also documented hate speech and rough treatment directed at them while at the site." None of them wound up in the ER -- unlike Ngo. The story had the kind of righteous indignation one might expect from liberals. The tone was how dare You People attack us after we wrote editorials supporting You People? Of course, Portland protesters did not peaceably assemble. They rioted and burned and looted. The Oregonian quoted photographer Beth Nakamura of the Oregonian, who said, "We’re completely hamstrung to show a realistic and fully dimensional picture of what’s going on." Waah. The press does not get it.
