Hamburg is a warzone thanks to far-left anarchists

I hate to say this but how the "western world" is exploiting rest of the planet and people - we actually don't have any rights over others to do that. As citizens we all must be equal, not just in the "first world", but the whole world. A lot of politics and programs aims to slowly but steadily move society to be coherent in every part of the globe.

When have I implied that extremism is acceptable? I have said that it is a problem on both the left and the right. The radical left causes the radical right to come out and vice-versa.
Wait, you said you didn't have to condemn the violence because you aren't the President.
Do I need to get out my mod tools and see if you were one of the 6 that downvoted RoyalCrown89 and the others who condemned the violence?

How can the number of videos you find on the web possibly tell you anything at all about the relative incidence of violence of right vs left? Do you have a web crawler embedded in your brain that diligently scours every website on earth? Even if you id, there would be a bias related to which videos were posted and published. Perhaps leftist violence seems on the rise since it was virtually non-existent for the past ten years.
Your North Carolina study does nothing for your argument. That study looked at how ex-felons registered (either democrat or Republican after they were released. They did not distinguish between violent and non-violent felons. They did not look at party affiliation at the time the crime was committed. Believe it or not, there are conservative democrats, and although they are a rare bird now, there are liberal republicans. Even the authors of your beloved study did their data did not support Senator Cruz's assertion.

The internet is more than leftist media.

But it is not a scientific sample
-
Comparing the internet to mainstream media, you get a much more honest view of the world from the internet.
Mainstream media has a leftist agenda.
-
We have a problem then. The internet does not have reporting or accuracy standards. Video can be edited, and like with any other medium, stories can be selectively covered. You cannot reliably depend on a balancing or opposing view being presented by another party. Of course, there is inherent "click selection.," where you preferably watch or read what appeals to you and your world view.
I actually think you are more prone to bias by relying on the internet than by seeking a range of outlets in MSM. -
Oh, do you mean like CNN edited that clip of the black girl saying not to riot in her area? The mainstream media claimed she called for peace and calm, when in reality she called for the blacks to destroy the suburbs. CNN only changed their story once they were caught in the lie. After they were forced to change the story, they still downplayed what she was saying.
Of course, you'll excuse this away too.
-
I am not going to explain it away. CNN made a mistake and corrected it. If the edited video had appeared on youtube, would it ever have ben corrected? See what I mean by reporting standards? You love when the media makes mistakes, but never give them credit when they issue a retraction. The mistake justifies your claim of biased "fake news."
-
If it was on YouTube, it would have been caught, just like they did with CNN.
CNN still downplayed her message, in the "corrected" reporting.
CNN had an agenda in the way they originally edited and reported the story.
They only "fixed" it because they got caught, not because it was the honest thing to do.
