Two major problems with that video:

1) Chase Hughes is conflating the Mainstream with the Alt-Mainstream -- "If you turn on cable news today... maybe you scroll social media... what are you going to see? The absolute fringe. They're going to show you the loudest, dumbest, most cartoonish people from the 'other side' blasted in your face 24/7". The Mainstream is dominated by Leftists (and has been for many decades, only increasing with each passing decade), and they consistently downplay the violence of the Left and, related to that, the violence of the Left’s Black and Muslim Pets.

2) He’s trying to argue that the Left-Right distinction is not real and is only being fostered by some hidden powers to manipulate people. I disagree. The hidden powers or Conspiracy or Cabal or Deep State or Swamp or whatever term we use, has been using Leftism for over a hundred years. Leftism is the vehicle for the Communist project of subverting the West.

Either this Hughes guy is not thinking things through and has little grasp of history, or he’s deliberately creating a “dialectic” muddle of obfuscation.\

Just one example of thousands one could cite to show the subtle (often not so subtle) way the Mainstream downplays the problem of Muslims — the reports about the summer of 2023 shooting by a Muslim at an intersection in Fargo, North Dakota when the Muslim killed one policeman and wounded two others before being sent to Paradise by a fourth policeman. This was no minor incident, it could have been much worse. One has to go to a small localized webpage put out by the local police to get the disturbing facts:

After the shooting, police found numerous guns, 1,800 rounds of ammunition, a homemade grenade and explosives in the gunman’s vehicle. Investigators determined the gunman likely planned a larger attack due to the number of guns and explosives found.

Now notice how MSNBC says in their headline “the gunman” and avoid “Muslim” or his Arabic name.
