Media Bias Revealed in Coverage of Violent Portland Rally

Media reports surrounding a Portland rally in which the presence of far-right and far-left groups resulted in violence — including the beating of a journalist — have much to reveal about media bias.

A video Oregonian reporter Jim Ryan posted to Twitter during the demonstration on Saturday showed members of the far-left group Antifa beating Quillette editor and photojournalist Andy Ngo, who often covers Antifa’s activities. Ngo, whom AllSides gives a media bias rating of Center, spent the night in the hospital after suffering a brain bleed, according to The Wall Street Journal.
