It’s true what they say, the things you see in others are the things in you. They wouldn’t see “far right” if they weren’t far left.

Hell, they don't even say "right". It's always "far right". Any position that doesn't advocate socialism is far right to the media/left.

I am definitely far right. Better to be right than wrong. If you aren't right you are wrong Sorry.

The media created this so-called far right thing. What's sad is the media has some right wingers believing there is such a thing as far right. ??

Wait! Are you telling me you think there is an inherent bias in our media?
Shocked I tell you! Shocked!!!

Far Right is code for populist. They try to use it as a boogeyman.

There's a TDS suffering radio "host" in New Orleans that likes to say "far right radical" a lot of the time. I rarely listen to him anymore because he's lost his mind over the last few years. But you're right, he never says the phrase "far left radical" about anything. He's brainwashed.

Been pointing this out for years - also never see "left wing extremist"
The entire journalism language has certain tropes as a starting point.
"extremism" only works in one direction = "extreme left" is the NORMAL condition. all references are to this self-supposed 'normal.'
Conservatives are portrayed as wanton "predators" - as in when the DEMOCRATs actually do something universally recognized as 'stupid' or 'silly' or 'wrong' the journalists will invariably describe any conservative mention of it as POUNCING
e.g. - Right wing extremists POUNCE on report of "insert latest democrat blunder"
also - the words "without evidence" are always associated with any conservative claim (e.g. election corruption) - while it is NEVER seen associated with any democrat allegation (such as 'threat to democracy' - or 'systemic racism' - or 'tax breaks for the rich' - or 'taking sick children off medicaid")
Journalism today is a self-negating description.

They also have a habit of calling anything endorsed by the right "controversial," but never applying the same qualifier to causes from the left.

This image will be hanging in an art exhibit someday, and will come with a trigger warning as it may evoke a sense of longing for a whiter time.

In Europe they add extreme right. And extreme right parties are not allowed to play in politics.

It's all about intentional branding by the media. "Far right" sounds scary and is used as a pejorative. For the left the media tries to use a safer more positive term "Progressive". It's viewed as a positive, as in making progress, becoming more enlightened.
The media is more deserving of contempt than people even place on them. They are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC and they don't even attempt to hide it.

Of course not. Nothing is ever too far left for them. But everything they don't agree with is "far right."
