Investigative JOURNALIST, Andy Ngo, was beaten so badly by Antifa thugs he was actually admitted to the hospital with a suspected brain bleed. These POS cowards beat him, stole his camera, and threw cement milkshakes at him …

Wow, now THIS is an actual attack on the free press. Surely his fellow journalists are front and center condemning this act and supporting Andy.
Or not.
Disturbing. Attacking a messenger shows weakness, not strength. Hopefully the authorities will get to the bottom of this. https://t.co/lSN2uZCASD

Oh, is it ‘disturbing,’ Brian? Ya’ think? Should authorities get to the bottom of this? Ya’ know, for being the guy who always throws a fit when Trump says anything negative about the media Brian sure doesn’t seem to be all that concerned when an actual attack on a journalist has taken place.
And calling Andy a messenger. Really?
Messenger?

You've never heard of the saying "attack the messenger?"
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) June 30, 2019
Huh? Andy isn’t a messenger, he’s a journalist.
He's a journalist. One of those firefighters we're supposed to be proud of. You should be dialing his lawyer to book him on your show. A "messenger" would be someone wearing a maga hat, wrapped in the U.S. flag or burning a copy of The Motorcycle Diaries.

What he said.
Wtf is this BS? He’s a journalist not a “messenger.” https://t.co/U9FKOLhzcZ

Sensing a theme here, Tater.
What’s “disturbing” is how much more tame your response is to an actual, violent, physical attack than to hurt feelings over comments of “fake news” and such. https://t.co/Nh6EX2c5li

Well I was rather hoping one of you brave firefighters would shed a little sunlight on this
If only you had a show or something— ????? ???? ??? (@HonkyTonkJew) June 30, 2019
Right?
Yet he can't bring himself to acknowledge Andy as a "fellow" journalist
— Stupid Vexing Twit (@CossatotFalls) June 30, 2019
Wow …. this is pretty weak
— Miami Conservative (@MiamiConserv) June 30, 2019
That’s putting it nicely.
@MrAndyNgo is a journalist who goes where the news is not sit in a studio viewing from afar.
— ApoliticalNaples (@ApoliticalN) June 30, 2019
“A messenger”. ? He’s a journalist.
— lala (@lacoolio1) June 30, 2019
A messenger?!! WTF is wrong with you? Ffs.
— Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) June 30, 2019
FFS!
Get to the bottom of what? Did he provoke them by being there? Kinda like Jodi Foster provoked that rape in Accused b/c of her short skirt?
Don't know anything about this guy, but cities should not be allowing ppl I'm masks to attack ppl – journalist or not.
— Dog guy (@Catsorange1) June 30, 2019
Andy showed up to cover Antifa.
They assaulted him.
There, we got to the bottom of it. Happy now, Brian?
I wonder if you wake up every morning thinking
“What can I do today to make myself look more like a little bitch clown”
— Bob Malak (@bob_malak) June 30, 2019
Invite @MrAndyNgo on your show tomorrow
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) June 30, 2019
Like that will happen.
Jim Acosta CNN 'messenger'
— Corn Chowder (@JLervikk) June 30, 2019
Congratulations, now you can say you covered it.
— Sean Medlock (@Sean_Medlock) June 30, 2019
Brian, I am genuinely glad to see you tweet this, so I don’t want to quibble over semantics. But…
This was a politically motivated attack on a #journalist. Given #CNN’s rhetoric re attacks on #journalists, wouldn’t a much stronger statement be in order? #media #antifa

Let me help you out: a bunch of Leftist thugs beat up a journalist.
Apologist.
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 30, 2019
Guess you could say Will here ‘got to the bottom of it’ as well.
So Brian, you’re just an overpaid messenger?
— The Camo(papa) Who Laughs… (@camopapa0410) June 30, 2019
And that’s the truth.
