Why Troubling News:
In general, the article does not have egregious misinformation issues, but one section that particularly stood out as problematic was the analysis of a quote from New York BLM leader Hawk Newsome in response to the not-guilty verdict for Daniel Penny.

By not acknowledging this alternative perspective and jumping to portray Newsome and his supporters in a violent light, the author is expressing at least a minor form of bias against the BLM movement and their intentions.
