They didn't seem to care that much about right-wing media doing exactly the same during all of Obama's presidency. In fact, they regularly would regurgitate their talking points and promoted ridiculous conspiracy theories, including Birtherism.
> They don't do this because they like or want to defend Trump, they do it because they want to point out the dishonesty in a lot of what passes for journalism these days.
Then you would expect them to cover such dishonest media outlets as OANN, Fox News, The Blaze and Breitbart, right? And yet they've probably spent more time covering a single show (The View) than they have spent covering the full programming of all those outlets.
They can claim they deconstruct media all they want, but they can't claim they have 'no agenda'.
They defend Trump at every turn and only hold his feet to the fire for things like “Tweeting too much.” You need only look to the subreddit for the show to see those that fell off over the years owing to their alt right turn. Let’s not pretend this is some accusation you’ve never heard before.
As the other replier said, they constantly and consistently repeated the Obama birtherism nonsense. Now they defend Trump. There is a throughline there, you just don’t want to see it.
Hell the democrats are led by Joe Biden who believes in segregation (see Biden's 'jungle' comments about school desegregation), by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.
But sure, let's talk about how Democrats are the real racists...

But, as you say, the game is to divert attention and dodge the issue -- as illustrated by the fact that you asked for a distinction between the modern GOP and alt-right and our friend here started talking about Biden.

From the article you just linked, Trump did not lose the court case.
Biden was literally pro segregation.

Speaks much more about where your party is in 2020 than anything else.
I'm aware you think being for segregation 40 years ago is acceptable. I reiterate: racism is evil even 40 years ago.
Biden's comments about poor people vs white people were literally last year. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/joe-biden-poo... Racism is evil even in 2019.
It seems you making an argument about Biden being racist a while ago means he's no longer racist. Evidence suggests the contrary. That's not an assumption, that's logic.
Edit: I'll put a bow on it for you. You say:
>by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.
You are comparing comments made by one individual 40 years ago to where your preferred /party/ falls today. You are doing all of this in response to a question as to what meaningful difference there is between the modern GOP and alt-right.
Forget about the fact that even if Joe Biden literally wore a Klan hood on Inauguration Day 2020 your answer would still not be responsive to the question, you must be able to see the issue in needing to go back 40 years in one individual's public life to find a favorable comparison to your preferred party's current positions.
Seriously. Just stop. You're flailing.
Edit 2: Just saw your other thread where you're defending Rittenhouse in Kenosha. Clear which side of the aisle you fall. We're done here, feel free to have your last word.
>> you believe pointing out Biden's support of segregation is bad.
> I made no such arguments.
ok
> your preferred /party/
you make a lot of assumptions yourself.
> You are comparing comments made by one individual 40 years ago to where your preferred /party/ falls today.
Do you understand Biden has been nominated as the leader of the Democrats? Do you understand as mentioned, that Joe Biden was making racist comments in 2019?
> Seriously. Just stop. You're flailing.
/Someone/ is :D
> you're defending Rittenhouse in Kenosha.
Why aren't you defending him? Do you think he deserved to be assaulted?
> We're done here
And still no links proving your bizarre accusation that Adam Curry is alt right.
