CNN spent an hour promoting fringe racist figures like Richard Spencer and David Duke, who promised he was going to “fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.” But this was outdated, since Spencer tweeted last November, “The Trump moment is over, and it’s time for us to move on.”</p>\n<p> IN THE CNN special, racists were interspersed with footage of people saying “Make America Great Again” and footage of people protesting illegal immigration, with an obvious smear implied. Oppose illegal immigration? You must be a Klansman. Or a neo-Nazi.<br />\n This “explosion of white supremacy” is apparently so dangerous that CNN felt the need to expose it during an hour of prime-time programming.<br />\n The left-leaning Anti-Defamation League reported a KKK decline in 2016, but it wasn’t specific about an overall number. It said: “Despite a persistent ability to attract media attention, organized Ku Klux Klan groups are actually continuing a long-term trend of decline. They remain a collection of mostly small, disjointed groups that continually change in name and leadership. Down slightly from a year ago, there are currently just over thirty active Klan groups in the United States, most of them very small.”<br />\n Has it gone up since then? A 2018 ADL report on the Loyal White Knights group within the Ku Klux Klan said the group “is the largest and the most active Klan group in the country with approximately 100 members.” You read that correctly. The Knights’ rally in Charlottesville, North Carolina, in July 2017, with “fifty-odd Klansmen” qualified as “the largest rally organized by a Klan group in recent years.” <br />\n To CNN, this is somehow the evidence that demands an hour on white supremacy.</p>\n<p> GIVING OXYGEN to the Klan comes naturally to CNN. Black comedian W. Kamau Bell began his CNN documentary series, “United Shades of America,” in 2016 with a stunt where he hung out with the KKK, as if the group was deeply important. The Washington Post saluted Bell for peppering “his wry observations with a big, booming laugh” and his ability to “stay cool” around the KKK kooks.<br />\n The same leftists who spent decades lamenting the Red Scare paranoia — as if conservatives were saying there was a communist under every bed — promote a Brown Shirt Scare about impending American fascism. This, in turn, fuels a radical “anti-fascist” (or “antifa”) movement that threatens violence in the streets over the cuckoo conspiracy theory of a Nazi takeover of America.<br />\n What about antifa? CNN didn’t include the movement in its “State of Hate” special. “Hate” is only something the right-wingers do. They might agree with their friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center about the “myth of the unhinged, violent left.” Sadly, the day before CNN’s special, thugs in Portland, Oregon, assaulted several people at an antifa protest including Quillette journalist Andy Ngo, who routinely films antifa rallies.</p>\n<p> IF THE MEDIA really wanted to describe dangerous and violent “hate” groups fairly, they would find them on the left with antifa. Conservatives want nothing to do with the KKK. Downplaying antifa — or even promoting it, as CNN has — is the very opposite of putting the facts first.</p>\n', created = 1575979090, expire = 1576065490, headers = '', serialized = 0 WHERE cid = '2:a3bef2a59964463f8912b535b491e8e9' in /home/conserva/public_html/includes/cache.inc on line 112.
