Credibility
Ngo's credibility and objectivity as a journalist have been extensively criticized.[11][61][87] Since 2019, he has been accused of using selectively edited videos[88] and sharing misleading and inaccurate information to paint antifa activists as violent,[3] and to underplay the violence of the far right,[89][90][83] with Columbia Journalism Review describing Ngo as a "discredited provocateur".[91]
Ngo has also attracted criticism for allegedly associating with the same far-right groups that he purports to report on.[17][92][18] After Ngo was assaulted by left-wing protestors in Portland in 2019, the Portland-based newspaper Willamette Week quoted the Portland Mercury's Blogtown in saying an unnamed Proud Boys member said that the attack on Ngo "happened because he ignored Proud Boys' offer of protection"[15] and accordingly stated "it is increasingly clear [Ngo] is coordinating his movements and his message with right-wing groups".[15]
BuzzFeed News reported that "[Ngo]'s literal brand is that anti-fascists are violent and loathe him", adding that he "has been building to a dramatic confrontation with the Portland far left for months, his star rising along with the severity of the encounters ... . [Ngo] is willing to make himself the story and to stream himself doing it. He proceeds from a worldview and seeks to confirm it, without asking to what degree his coverage becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy".[20] Brian Levin, an extremist expert from California State University, San Bernardino, stated that Ngo was "a political pundit who certainly makes the most out of his conflicts, which sometimes turn violent on him. ... But to his credit, I've never seen him be the physical aggressor in the posts that he's made generally."[93]
