You Have Committed Journalistic Malpractice Here

Hello Reuters,

To follow up on @MrAndyNgo post, you have committed journalistic malpractice here. Your so-called analyst and historian is Mark Bray, who literally wrote the Anti-Fa handbook. He is not objective. He is a financial backer and member of antifa. Full stop.

… book itself makes the extremism clear. Bray openly writes that "anti-fascists don't wait for a fascist threat to become violent before acting to shut it down, physically if necessary." He cites activists who escalate tactics step by step: first letters and phone calls, then fists, then knives, then guns, and, eventually, tanks.

He goes on to explicitly call to normalize violence as a strategy to stop fascists, explaining: "The first time anti-fascists shut down Nazis it’s newsworthy, the fiftieth time not so much."

He is unapologetic and one-sided: the only response to fascists (of which Trump supporters are) should be: complete censorship and to be met with violence, killing if necessary.

The content was so extreme that when I asked ChatGPT to analyze it, it refused, saying it could not "reproduce operational instructions for evading law enforcement or judicial accountability."

Inviting Bray to speak as an expert on this subject is the equivalent of bringing on David Duke as an academic authority on white supremacy.

There is no way you did not know this. You deliberately went out of your way to platform someone who, by all rights, should have long ago been out of any employment prospects.

And Charlie Kirk showed us for once and for all who you are.

Matt Bray's views are not extreme.

They represent the consensus of many on the left, including your writers.

I hope @KariLake has pulled every single award associated with you.
