There is also a subset of people who have learned that being an Emmanuel Goldstein for redpillers by being over-the-top is a great way to get advertising money, and the neckbeard dipshits fall for it every time.

It's like when liberals point out something outrageous a right-wing radio or TV personality did, they only have to go as far as a random FOX News host, but liberal thinkpieces are mostly "both sides are equally bad :shrug:" conservatives have to really reach for these professional provocateurs

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/15/politics/nancy-pelosi-steve-scalise/index.html

quote:

People hate the "both sides do it" nature of some corners of mainstream journalism, believing that it creates a sense of equivalency when there is none. Fair enough.
But in this case, both sides do do it! Casting your political opponents as not just wrong but dangerous motivates the bases of the respective parties. And fired-up bases turn out. And that, for most politicians, is plenty of justification to keep playing to the extremes rather than trying to land somewhere in between those two poles.

For example, this journalist thinks that thinks that if any liberal did something once, then no matter how often conservatives do the same thing or how prominent the conservatives who are doing it are, then "both sides do it" is all the analysis you need. Donald Trump was the one who suggested his audience beat protesters up, to say the least of everything the right has done, but because of Kathy Griffin beheading his effigy, now "both sides do it".
