I disagree. Trumps anti-islamic rhetoric is certainly far-right mentality.
Trumps wall-building excursion is far-right mentality.
I could go on.

With that, we need to keep in mind that I am Australian, the USA's political environment is a whole step over to the right compared to here and in general, a large chunk of the planet.

You are missing the point entirely. I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

If you push towards alternate news sources that don't backup their claims with multiple sources, evidence and citations and opt for an opinion-styled outlay instead, then yes... Allot of fluff can be conspiracy theories.
You cannot expect anything to be accurate if you don't have this little thing called "Evidence".

And if a news outlet is backing it's claim up with evidence, then it should be seen as the more credible news outlet. To say otherwise is why flat earth nutters have gained traction the way they have.

But out of kicks and giggles. Shall I assume you are a right-wing, trump supporting, alternate news championing US citizen? If so, I am genuinely interested on what News outlets you tend to use.

Trying to protect your borders from illegal immigration and potential terriorists (nothing wrong with throughly vetting people who come from countries where terrorists are active) is not far-right. To the left's pov maybe but not in general. 

I'm not missing the point. I'm just not agreeing with you completely. I'm all for any news that backs up their claims but I won't trust any of it until I dig further into a story of theirs and check it against other sources. It's no secret that each and every news outlet is biased in some way but what matters is their agenda behind what they're reporting. For example, you can't trust BBC's reporting on immigrant crime or CNN's reporting on anything related to politics or Fox's reporting on environmental related issues or what young people think.  How about MSNBC's Mr. Maddow's reporting on Trump's tax returns? lmao.  In truth, whenever a news story breaks, I check the main news outlets and some of the alternative ones/pundits to try and get the complete story. Too many try to spin something or omit information they don't like so you have to check it out throughly.  I stay away from the far-right or far-left stuff because they're too biased to be even a little objective. I watch a good bit of content from The Rubin Report, Louder With Crowder, Sargon Of Akkad, Gavin Mcinnes, Laura Southern, Ben Shapiro, Blaire White, Milo Yiannopoulos, Joe Rogan and Theryn Meyer. I watch a bit of The Young Turks or Laci Green for contrast or to get a bead on what's going on the other side of things.

I'm a right leaning libertarian and I did vote for trump. Mainly because I honestly believe he's better for the whole of the country compared to what Hillary offered to a few groups of people.

This. People who think "far-right" should see holocaust deniers, Adolf Hitler (who was actually on the left economically), ect. These are the true "far-right".



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
