It was on our news last night. He is a Hillary supporter and his friend supports Bernie. Apparently the discussion got heated and then physical.

I laughed when I heard the reason. I know people have some very strong political allegiances, but to fist fight over differences is just plain stupid!

So your subject line is misleading.

Don't be a misleader. Things are plenty bad enough. OK?

RawStory put up an article regarding the NY Primary complaining about the local paper's reporting. Turns out, the RS piece was "editorialized" as I realized later after a waste of time.

Your OP isn't exactly wrong. But it's not exactly right. They reported why he was arrested.

The WHY he was arrested is because he assaulted a Bernie Supporter. The CHARGE is Battery.
