I spend a lot of time critiquing media, but this is one of the worst pieces of journalism I have ever seen. It's a pure propaganda piece on behalf of a group currently terrorizing major cities, with a known supporter of Antifa and political violence as the primary cited source.
Here is a piece on Mark Bray, the Antifa apologist who @byamberphillips cites as her primary source for an article about them. The article completely ignores their anarchist goals & violent actions while assigning pure motives.

Just the fact that he is donating part of the proceeds from his pro-Antifa book to the group should have led to any reasonable reporter disqualifying him from being their primary source for such an article, but I guess Washington Post doesn't have those standards.
This is seriously like writing an article about the most violent white supremecist groups in the country and citing Richard Spencer to argue they are just pro American groups trying to fight back against drug cartels and vilent gangs.
It’s deplorable propaganda.
