Left wing nuts aren’t storming the capital or parking their giant pickups next to federal buildings claiming they have bomb. It’s gotten ridiculous and right wing extremist violence is getting worse.

What right wing site “encouraged violence” wrt the election? I don’t recall that.
I remember left wing sites encouraging Hilary to contest the election results when Trump won. :shrug
I recall cities burning last summer while CNN called it “fiery but mostly peaceful demonstrations” in one of the most infamous moments of the whole year. And don’t forget Wapo’s “austere religious scholar” description of a terrorist because they didn’t like the fact that Trump killed him. I could keep going.
It’s not whataboutism, it’s the exact same thing.
Look, I don’t disagree that right wing sites are a problem. But left wing sites are just as bad.
It’s not as much a right or left wing problem as it is an entire media problem.
