The use of “Antifa” in news reporting amplifies misleading information being promoted by the administration. Recent stories on the Prairieland ICE detention center shooting repeated the Justice Department’s claim that the defendants were tied to “Antifa,” without sufficient proof.
Contact the Associated Press, Reuters and ABC to request that they avoid using the government’s Antifa label in headlines at all. Even calling it an allegation can make readers assume it’s real, turning an unverified claim about a non-existent group into “fact.”
