This story went from bad to worse. First, local news (@WLK) said police were interested in interviewing a driver who struck a protester. @WLKY purposefully omitted the first part of the video showing protesters attacking the driver.
Under pressure, @WLKY released the full video.

Next, @NPR comes along and declares that the protester who was struck by the car was a victim of a “far left” terrorist attack.

Caught in their lie, NPR had to “correct” the story.
Now @NPR is accusing all motorists who are confronted by violent street urchins (aka “peaceful protesters”) of being right wing terrorists. Apparently, if attackers are attempting to pull you from your car, you must allow it to happen. You can’t flee.
I guess @NPR hopes no one remembers the name Reginald Denny.
Just to provide some reference material, here is the original headline from @WLKY.

“Police looking for driver who struck protester.” The video was edited and did not show the driver being attacked. No mention was made of the attackers.
After intense scrutiny, WLKY added a qualifier to their story.
One last thing... The driver of the vehicle was a black woman. Not some “blood thirsty white nationalist” as @NPR would have us believe.

Mind you, the driver’s skin color is irrelevant to me.
Another local news source in Louisville. Keep in mind that this headline went nationwide.
It’s also interesting that almost no news outlets reported that one of the “protesters” stuck a gun in the driver’s face. That’s an “inconvenient truth.”
In case you are wondering, the attackers were arrested. The driver was questioned and released. wdrb.com/news/2-charged…
Darius Anderson, only 21 years old, is the person who stuck a large caliber pistol in the driver’s face.
