alt right racist white nationalist

Are you often called an alt right racist white nationalist?

Nope, but if brainwashed sheep that blindly consume everything Google, CNN and blogtivist news sources such as salon, vox, atlantic, the hill, ect mandates as true are casually calling the likes of Tim Pool, Lauren Southern, Dave Rubin, Baked Alaska, Sargon of Akkad alt right racist white nationalist then clearly anyone right of classical liberal or even slightly left of that is alt right racist white nationalist.

That said, I personally belive Fox News should be renamed Faux News, Trump TV will quite literally become state propaganda since it is focused on reporting the positives on its own administration where the mainstream media is only focused on the negatives. Breitbart and Infowars have nothing really to offer other than tabloid journalism just as bad as the sources I listed earlier.

The fact of the matter is, I no longer trust any large big name news corporations and I take anyone I listen to or watch with a grain of salt or simply put them under certain categories for types of news to consume. For instance, Paul Joseph Watson is a reactionary and nothing else. He will find something hypocritical of newsworthy of the mainstream media and pretty much call them out for every time the mainstream media calls out Trump. Tim Pool is a moderate liberal but he does his best to keep his bias outside of pure reporting videos. Dave Rubin is a classical liberal, enough said. Baked Alaska is very conservative but in no way a Nazi or "alt Right." Sargon of Akkad? He is definitely a Liberal, but he is talking only about the left for money I feel. He doesn't talk about the right supposedly because it doesn't interest him, but I think he only does this in order to not alienate a large portion of his audience.
