"Antifa" is short for "Anti-fascism". Antifa is a conglomeration of groups that seek to organize protests and political action in reponse to the objectives of fascist groups, namely rallies held by white supremacist groups. As it is small and loosley organized, Antifa recieves little media attention from sources not associated with the Alt-Right. Fox News in particular has been critisized for using Antifa to deter its audience from focusing on chants and phrases yelled by white supremistists in support of Trump, whom Fox News often refrains from critisizing.
Fox News host: "Antifa's violence at the Charlottesville..." (Rather than discussing chants led by members of the Alt-Right, namely Jason Kessler of Proud Boys, self-identified members of the Klansman, & other self-identified or discovered members of neo-Nazi & neo-Confederate groups.
