You want to defend this be my guest. I won't...
I am not defending an act of violence, nor am I saying that Crowder got what he deserved. I'm saying that he's distorting the incident to create a narrative that didn't exist. He went in to report that union protestors are violent, mindless thugs trying to intimidate their employers, and unfortunately for our country, he was able to do that thanks to circumstances and somebody worked up enough to throw punches.
This is dishonest and dangerous journalism. This is why so many Americans hate each other right now. Because "journalists" are lying, choosing to incite hatred in order to make money rather than telling the truth and having to make it in journalism the honest way. Throwing a punch (or three) can kill a person (had he been Kermit Washington). Doing what journalists are doing these days contributes to a horrific string of awful, awful things happening in this country. Neither side is to be defended, bottom line.
