As Newsbusters has previously reported, the CBS Evening News was the only one of Thursdays evening's news broadcast to mention that an Antifa mob showed up at Fox News host Tucker Carlson's house Wednesday evening, shouting threats and vandalizing his driveway.  On CNN and MSNBC, only one program on Thursday even bothered to mention the assault: CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin. While other journalists expressed their support for Carlson and condemned Antifa's assault on his house, only the 3:00 program on CNN even bothered to mention it.  Host Brooke Baldwin, who had previously chastised Matt Lewis for referring to angry left-wing protesters confronting Senator Ted Cruz as a "mob," brought in Brian Stelter to discuss the incident. Stelter argued that "you can have a lot of criticisms of Fox News and I do but it crosses a line when you show up at somebody's home. Whether you love Tucker Carlson or hate Tucker Carlson, I think we can all agree that protesters on a driveway shouting, scaring the anchor's wife, it's just uncalled for."  The discussion on the Carlson incident lasted for only two and a half minutes. At the very least, hopefully it will cause Baldwin and other left-wing journalists to rethink their assertion that left-wing mobs do not exist.
