“#Twitter<\/a>’s all-too-telling move to un-name journalist Andy Ngo<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s a small thing, but telling of the presumption of the twits who run Twitter: After lefty complaints that Andy Ngo shouldn\u2019t be called a \u201cjournalist\u201d on the site\u2019s curated news<\/a> feed, the social-media giant rewrote a headline to call him just an \u201cauthor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ngo reports, researches and writes for the public about the outrages of Antifa goons. He has a job as an editor with a news organization, the Canada-based site The Post Millennial.<\/p>\n

How is he not<\/em> a journalist?<\/p>\n

Indeed, that he\u2019s doing the work that establishment outlets skip out on makes him more of a journo than the members of the press who turn a blind eye to Antifa\u2019s violence. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s now been beaten up twice by Antifa types who resent his work exposing the truth about their activities. The requests to not label him a \u201cjournalist\u201d were just a different kind of attack. Ngo\u2019s response tweet<\/a> got to the heart of it: \u201cMy detractors do this because they want to take away the one thing that all decent people agree on: press freedom is sacred. Who the far-left defines as \u2018press\u2019 are those who write what they app<\/a>rove of.\u201d<\/p>\n

By going along, Twitter once again proved that it doesn\u2019t understand what journalism and free speech actually mean.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
