Have you noticed that most of the written, television or radio media, where you get informed every day of ‘what is happening’, the words ‘extreme right’ or ‘ultra-conservative’ are hammered out many times in most political reporting – especially during the last few years after the rise of Donald Trump to the US presidency?
However, you never hear the opposite of these words, such as ‘far left’ or ‘ultra liberal’, which would indicate that extremism only exists on the ‘far right’.
And with that comes the question, according to a former congressman and TV personality: who decides what it is to be right, left or center, or who is ultra conservative or extreme right?
He says that to say that someone is from the right or from the extreme, you have to know where the center is, so who decides that? And when they refer to a politician who is from the extreme right, against whom do they compare him? Who gets to define that?
Why do liberal politicians never describe the far left? There are always ultra-conservative judges, but never ultra-liberal judges, he explains.
And there are really no TV presenters who define or label the extreme left or describe what a liberal center is.
He is joined in the interview by a member of the Hoover Institute, who answers these questions.
Why is there always an extreme right or ultra conservative and never an extreme left or extreme liberal, according to the conventional press?
“You have to start with the premise that the left considers itself morally superior because they believe in the force of egalitarianism, using the power of government to make everyone equal, not at the forefront of opportunity, but at the end, and that they at the same time consider it contrary to human nature and common sense, so it takes a degree of force to force people, as that is contrary to our Constitution, and they don’t believe in the 51 percent majority, so they don’t trust democracy. That has made them use the institutions, especially at the start of globalization, controlling the most money in the US for the last 30 years. This has made the left to have systematically added their control of the NY Times, The Chicago Tribune, LA Times, NPR, PBS and now they control social media, he said.
In conclusion, then, is this reason why they control the political language, and successively the population mind? Hmmm, very interesting.
