If a right-wing radical tried to burn down a government building and was shot and killed by police, it would be headline news at the liberal media outlets. But when a left-wing Antifa member did precisely that, CBS and NBC said nothing and ABC gave it 17 seconds of coverage. They buried the story.
On July 13, leftist radical Wil-lem Van Spronsen tried to burn down an ICE detention center for illegal im-migrants in Tacoma, Washington, us-ing an incendiary device. While trying to commit this crime, Van Spronsen was shot and killed by police officers.Twenty-four hours later, NBC and CBS had yet to report on the event on either their morning or evening news broadcasts. Over at ABC, the only mention of the incident was buried in the middle of a larger story on July 14 about ICE raids, and it failed to include anything about motive or his affiliation with Antifa.
