Washington Post's Portland attack headline slammed as 'passive voice nonsense'


The Washington Post was slammed Tuesday for a “passive voice nonsense” headline that critics said downplayed the vicious attack on a truck driver by Portland protesters, ignoring that the man was beaten by demonstrators. A man was knocked unconscious by Black Lives Matter protesters after they allegedly chased him until he crashed his truck. MAN WHO FILMED PORTLAND ASSAULT VIDEO SAYS IT WAS A ‘RANDOM’ ATTACKJeff Bezos’ Washington Post headlined the story of the attack, “Man seriously injured in attack after crashing his truck during Black Lives Matter protest in Portland.”Bloomberg News columnist Eli Lake took notice, tweeting “This headline is passive voice nonsense. The Washington Post did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Allen said police continue to investigate the case, but no arrests had been made as of 12:25 a.m. local time.
