The Average Conservative Political commentary from the perspective of an average American conservative.

This cartoon nails it because it shows exactly how the national media operates.

They will take the smallest piece of right-wing extremism, put it under a microscope, run wall-to-wall coverage, and treat it as the defining threat to the country.

Meanwhile, the much larger and more obvious problem of left-wing extremism is standing right behind them, smashing through the glass, breaking institutions, intimidating opponents, and poisoning the culture.

That is the point here.

The media is not blind. They see what everyone else sees. They saw the riots. They saw the threats. They saw the political violence. They saw the attacks on law enforcement. They saw the campus chaos. They saw the mobs. They saw the open hatred for America’s founding principles.

But instead of giving that threat the same relentless treatment, they look for some tiny “right-wing extremism” button on a pedestal and pretend that is the emergency.

We believe that is by design.

The purpose is not journalism, it is narrative control.

If the media can convince Americans that the real danger always comes from the right, they can excuse almost anything that comes from the left. They can downplay it, rationalize it, call it activism, call it frustration, call it protest, or simply ignore it until the story disappears.

That is how the game works.

The left gets context. The right gets condemnation.

The left gets excuses. The right gets labels.

The left gets protected. The right gets investigated.

This cartoon works because it captures the absurdity in one image. The reporters are crowded around a small display marked “Right Wing Extremism,” while the giant monster labeled “Left Wing Extremism” is tearing the place apart behind them.

That is not subtle, but neither is the media’s double standard.

The American people are tired of being told not to believe their own eyes.

The real threat is not just extremism itself, it is a media class that decides which extremism counts and which extremism gets covered up.
