As far as I've been able to tell, trying to be as neutral as I can, I don't think the lies, hatred, and violence cherry-picked or selectively ignored by the NY Times and similar come anywhere near the volume of the same done by Breitbart and similar. Further, when it does happen, it seems to always be much harder to draw the connection to intent, e.g:

NY Times: Support some policy -> Policy could be considered related to communism -> Communist regimes have killed many people throughout history

Breitbart: Support hatred and rejection of broad groups of people directly.

Further, Breitbart and similar seem much more willing to engage in propaganda rhetoric and purposeful deceit.

True. But scope matters. Breitbart is extreme but they absolutely don’t represent a significant portion of conservatives. They might pretend do, but they don’t. There crazies out there on both sides. I choose to ignore them. Not being out there denouncing them doesn’t mean I support them or agree with them
