Republicans pounce.
Via Fox News:
The Washington Post finally got around to covering a recent attack on a conservative activist at the University of California at Berkeley on Wednesday – but put an emphasis on the fact that conservatives were upset about the situation.
It has become common practice for mainstream media organizations to focus on the “Republicans pounce” aspect of any story that would appear unfavorable to the left. In this case, the Post’s story was headlined: “A conservative activist was punched in the face at UC Berkeley. The response enraged the right.” It cited a Fox News report published Tuesday, one of several which has been published since the incident occurred last week.
The incident, which was captured on a cell phone, occurred as the activist, Hayden Williams, was manning a recruiting table for Turning Point USA, a conservative organization. Williams, who is not a student, told Fox News last week that he filed a police report immediately after the incident.
