So my hot take on the #AndyNgoAssault. I'll be honest, I had limited knowledge on him prior to today; however, I can say that I am basing my conclusions on researching him, not long term preconceived notions.
1. Andy Ngo as a journalist. Journalism is ideally supposed to be fact-based, neutral reporting based on extensive research. The reader is able to draw their own conclusion by being given facts.
This doesn't mean a journalist article won't paint a positive/negative picture of a person/event. It means that that picture is painted by the subject itself by the facts surrounding it. Someone being heroic is due to factual heroic actions, and a villain likewise, not propaganda
By that standard Andy Ngo is not a journalist. His writing has consisted of as far as I found solely pro-nationalist/discrimination propaganda pieces. His most famous WSJ piece was a blatant attempt to portray a trip where factually nothing bad happened to him as terrifying.
He is more than just a reporter who has happened to cover WS groups, but actively associates with them to repeat their message, ie propagandizing, and even used his journalistic skills to assist WS groups to terrorize individuals.
This goes to 2, Ngo decided long ago he was not just a reporter or bystander. He actively helps white nationalist. Groups like the Proud Boys aren't just activists or reactionary violent to antifa. They are a premeditated threat

In May of 2019, he met with a Patriot Prayer affiliated group as they pre-planned curating violent viral WN propaganda. At the ensuing conflict a woman was clubbed resulting in her neck being broken, and Ngo then choose to doxx her.
While editing Qillette a list of journalists was published who were put on a kill list by WN group Atomwaffen, and he also led to death threats against CAIR after and article labeling them terrorists.

So Ngo is not a journalist. He's a propagandist who not just helps promote fascist ideology, but also uses his platform to doxx and endanger others. He's far beyond claiming innocent bystander or neutral journalist. Or as we say down South, hit dogs holler.
