My point was the US media tends to focus on sides only when it helps to sell the narrative that the right is dangerous extremist. That was my point. This man is no less politically motivated than the far left nutters but all we hear about is how he is a right wing extremest while they are simply environmental extremest. Why not call him an immigration extremist or if that isn't broad enough simply call him a fascist but don't use terms that confuse him with main stream political movements?





Some of the worst racism and bigotry you will find in the US comes from our Unions so I object to the very notion that bigotry and racism is a left right issue. The idea that racism is a politically right idea in the US is and always has been bogus. The reason we can't pass a immigration reform bill no matter which party is in control is the issue divides the political parties.



I agree with everything you said right there, in fact that was the point I was making. I object to either side trying to use this for politics by trying to tie this mad man around the other sides neck. His views on immigration are extreme and that is where the focus should be not if he is politically right or politically left. I really can't speak to his views on Marxism since we have so little of that here I assume anyone using the term is practicing hyperbole.



very true. I guess I should have been more clear from the start that I wasn't supporting that idea. let me be clear now, I don't believe he is a left winger and by European standards he very likely a far right. I object to that term being used to refer to him in the US since it means something different over here.




I am not being hyperbolic there is no end to the evidence to support my claim that our media is biased. The simple fact that they will admit that they are almost all of the same minority political view point but expect the rest of us to believe that their echo chamber existence and unwillingness to allow differing opinions on their staff in no way affect their coverage is really to silly of an argument to even entertain. my five year old would not believe an argument like that if you look at the polls the majority of Americans don't believe it either.

Most Americans still get the news from the TV. For national news we have four broadcast companies, PBS, ABC, NBC and CBS. All four or left leaning to the point that bias really isn't even a question. Name the consecrative news anchor for any of these networks. You can't but it is really is to name the liberal ones. ON cable you have CNN, FOX and MSNBC. CNN is left MSNBC is so far to the left they can barely be called a news network. So out of 7 news networks 6 are liberal and 1 is consecrative. 20% of the country is liberal while over 40% is consecrative and all we hear form the left is none stop whining about how Fox News is ruining America and their open desire to see it shut down.
