Ordinary, when the left is violent CNN will try to dismiss or minimize it, saying that protests were "mostly peaceful" or some such.

Now, with the scene at Charlottesville, ignoring the violence of the left wingers is impossible, so what does CNN do? They embrace the violence.

A reporter launders his opinion through an interview:

There is a place for violence. Is that the world that we want to live in? No. Is it the world we want to inhabit? No. Is it the world we want to create? No. But will we push back? Yes,” Crow said.

Levin said Antifa activists feel the need to partake in violence because “they believe that elites are controlling the government and the media. So they need to make a statement head-on against the people who they regard as racist.”

“There’s this ‘It’s going down’ mentality and this ‘Hit them with your boots’ mentality that goes back many decades to confrontations that took place, not only here in the American South, but also in places like Europe,” he added.

Not sure CNN was "embracing the violence" there, as much as quoting other people regarding Antifa activity and excuses.

I mean, did CNN ever say that their use of violence was justified in any of that?

CNN approves or scolds based on how they frame a given story. They either paint the interview subjects as protagonists or antagonists; they give background and supporting facts from one side of the narrative and not the other; they include built in counter-arguments with ready made rebuttals.

CNN embraces and chastises with every article they publish... just like all modern media. The stories CNN decides to back, though, are increasingly supportive of violence, so long as it's toward a CNN-approved bogeyman.

They are actually...Right doesn't=Racists...

In America, Right-Left are economic spectrums...

Libertarian and Authoritarian are social spectrums.... Nazi's are Left-Social Authoritarians. You could kind of call the Left-Wing Social Conservatives.....
If that makes your'e head explode, i'm sorry...


There is nothing in left-wing Ideology saying it can't be racist...

Trump said in his first talk that all violence should be refrained from. But the global press and public hated it not being specifically leveled at the latest idiots. So now we have made the less rational decision and allowed our Executive to act against free expression of admittedly unsavory political opinion.

No but Antifa is and so is BLM and so was the guy that went on a GOP shooting rampage

The groups that have been attacking Trump supporters even before he was elected and who have been attacking them ever since are Leftist.
They wanted a war, they wanted confrontation and now the media and Democrat supporters are backing them

They used the quote.

There's also this in The Atlantic:

Antifa’s violent tactics have elicited substantial support from the mainstream left.

By the 2000s, as the internet facilitated more transatlantic dialogue, some American activists had adopted the name antifa. But even on the militant left, the movement didn’t occupy the spotlight. To most left-wing activists during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama years, deregulated global capitalism seemed like a greater threat than fascism.

Trump has changed that. For antifa, the result has been explosive growth. According to NYC Antifa, the group’s Twitter following nearly quadrupled in the first three weeks of January alone. (By summer, it exceeded 15,000.) Trump’s rise has also bred a new sympathy for antifa among some on the mainstream left. “Suddenly,” noted the antifa-aligned journal It’s Going Down, “anarchists and antifa, who have been demonized and sidelined by the wider Left have been hearing from liberals and Leftists, ‘you’ve been right all along.’ ”

OK, they quoted a guy they interviewed....isn't that what our news-entertainment does? They quote folk all the time, I'm not sure it 100% means they endorse whatever the person is saying, but rather just printing what they are saying.

And that article doesn't prove the point either. The assertion is that CNN has embraced this violence is a bit absurd.
 
You gotta love conservatives trying to sell the idea that white supremes are left wing.

What's next? Tomorrow the sun will set in the east?
 
Sad how desperate some are to justify the actions of these white supremacist scum.

The term "National Socialist" was coined in 1930s Germany because Socialism was popular -- thereby enticing those who favored Socialism. Nazis are fascist, which is antithetical to Socialism. Fascism is using governmental authoritarian power to add "efficiency" to privately owned industrial production.

#1356 in the list of excuses/deflections for the connections between socialism and fascism.

Mussolini was a leading Italian socialist and said that he would always be one. He claimed that he was still a socialist even as he headed up the Italian Fascists. Fascism was a logical extension of socialism in his view, and most of its social agenda was the same as the socialist agenda. Same with the Nazis. To say that fascism is antithetical to socialism is a lie.

Check what just came across my feed this morning, if you haven't already.

Trump Gives White Supremacists an Unequivocal Boost

This is the crap that people who support Trump have to deal with, I can see why a majority of them are angry at the media.
They are still disregarding the left-wing actions at the rally, and will most likely continue to do so. So long as it serves the agenda they want to push.

Yes the whole unite the right movement was more or less hijacked by the White Nationalist & Supremacist, but it was almost certainly going to be as peaceful a rally as they have always had. Despite the hatefulness of what they were spewing, it was just a lawful assembly that let them exhibit their rights as citizens of the united states.

Antifa and all the other movement leeches showed up ready for a fight, simply because they believed it was their right to punch Nazi's, or whatever inane **** they believe is their right... too bad not one of them realized they should be punching each other if that were their true purpose.

I wouldn't say they have embraced it either, though I can agree that in more than a few cases they have been complacent in just letting it slide.

So the Never Trumpers are back and supporting along with the Democrats The Antifa and BLM by not condemning the real anti American
groups ever just as bad as the Taliban and ISIS. We must get rid of all never Trumpers and Democrats that will not support the American
people by fixing the past 24 years of decay . Seems the anti Trumpers always pop up when Antifa create destruction and death...
Just to Blame Pres Trump taken a lead from the media,

you are not a white supremacist if you love our history, warts and all, and think tearing down 100+ year old statues is stupid, and ignorant.
You are not a white supremacist if you are married to a white man or women and want to have white children.
