Oh please, it's a conscious decision to try and whitewash and downplay that
which is negative for the left by WaPo. Let's keep the sheeple arguing that Antifa and these POS we tolerate, encourage for political gain, and minimize at all times, are simply a few lunatic fringe extremists nobody takes seriously, and just a "manufactured crisis" thanks to Fox's propaganda. We certainly don't want to bring attention to their outrageous acts, lest the left that happily accepts their support may have to actually denounce them. Could you imagine, even for a second, them whitewashing that POS that killed Heather Hayer in CVille like that? He was just a protester arguing for equal rights for everyone that was involved in a vehicular accident. Or if this was a rightie behind it, wouldn't be doing a full court press on gun control and getting rid of those "weapons of war" and "weapons of mass destruction"? Gotta keep up the narrative that "gun nuts" are all just redneck lunatic Trump supporters. Give me a break!
Here's one of those rightie media outlets voicing that outrage for you (linked). They managed not to even finish the headline and first paragraph before pointing out the anarchist and Antifa connections, and address it in quite a bit of detail. And even managed to dedicate more than the word "rifle" to the weapon he was wielding. They didn't bother to mention they're protesting the deportation of people already ordered by a court to be deported, but even the "hard core rightie" Seattle Times managed to get that in.

But you may have a point. Maybe WaPo is simply helpless in these decisions, and just a product of the World made by media consumers. Maybe they're not to blame, and instead apologists like you are. You should demand better.
