| − | Proud Boys have been vehemently mischaracterized and slandered by the [[liberal media]], perhaps more so than any other single conservative organization in recent times. Most news outlets characterize the Proud Boys as "[[white supremacist]]", "[[alt-right]]", and "[[fascist]]", as well as accusing them of promoting political [[violence]]. [[Wikipedia]] holds strongly to this warped view,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys</ref> while hypocritically characterizing [[Antifa]], a far-Left [[anarchist]] [[terrorist]] faction and hate group, as mere "political activists".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)</ref> It is likely Wikipedia holds this view as a result of parroting the [[left-wing]] [[Southern Poverty Law Center]], a notoriously dishonest organization (and a hate group in its own right) which Wikipedia tends to use as a source. | + | Proud Boys have been vehemently mischaracterized and slandered by the [[liberal media]], perhaps more so than any other single conservative organization in recent times.{{fact}} Most news outlets characterize the Proud Boys as "[[white supremacist]]", "[[alt-right]]", and "[[fascist]]", as well as accusing them of promoting political [[violence]].{{fact}} [[Wikipedia]] holds strongly to this warped view,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys</ref> while hypocritically characterizing [[Antifa]], a far-Left [[anarchist]] [[terrorist]] faction and hate group, as mere "political activists".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)</ref> It is likely Wikipedia holds this view as a result of parroting the [[left-wing]] [[Southern Poverty Law Center]], a notoriously dishonest organization (and a hate group in its own right) which Wikipedia tends to use as a source.{{fact}} |
