> Already happened in the UK: Sargon of Akkad and CountDankula joined UKIP and are out there speaking out about their brand of alt right/lite YouTube politics.

It's so strange to see people parrot media talking points. But that's what the media is there to do I suppose.

> PrisonPaul of InfoWars also joined, but it seems he’s still mostly staying in his basement and making endless clips about PC or immigration than making the transition to “IRL” like the other two have.

You obviously have no bias.

> What kind of impact this will have remains to be seen. UKIP is still a fringe party for now.

Hopefully they will serve as the counterweight to the far-left extremism in media.

Can you give an example of far-left extremism in the media?

I haven't seen any communist bomb threats lately.

By far-left extremism in the media, I'm saying that the media is far-left extremist.

> I haven't seen any communist bomb threats lately.

Google antifa and protests. But I have a feeling you already knew that.

I'm zero'ing in on your use of the word 'extremism' because it's a loaded term meant to paint your target as outrageous and unreasonable.

I would like an example of something you consider extremism in the media because I'm betting we have a different definition of extremism.

That said you also mentioned protests as a form of extremism. That's worrying.

It's not. I'm using it the same way far-left journalists use it. If sargon and dankula are extremists, so are they.

> That said you also mentioned protests as a form of extremism. That's worrying.

I mention antifa and protests for a reason. Seeing as how invested you seem to be, it's obvious to me you already know what I am talking about. As I said, if you truly don't know what I'm talking about, you could easily google it yourself. There are plenty of evidence of violence by the lunatic extremist left supported by the far left media.

I normally would never link to a washingtonpost article but I suspect it's the only one you'd accept.
