It goes without saying that the media should – as we all should – decry and condemn political violence in no uncertain terms. Rather than host and contribute to conversations about right-wing extremism and its inevitable eruption into political violence, mainstream media contribute to normalising increasingly extreme political discourse. The sad fact is, when right-wing political violence happens to left-wing people, it is treated by the media as insignificant. To further add to this media inequality, where right-wing victims of political violence like Kirk are celebrated, right-wing perpetrators of political violence – and yes, almost all these perpetrators are right-wing – are quickly forgotten. When left-wing victims of right-wing political violence are forgotten, when right-wing victims of political violence who contributed to radicalisation are glorified, when left-wing people are falsely blamed for right-wing violence and when right-wing perpetrators of violence are not framed as a problem of right-wing political culture, the result is that the political architects and beneficiaries of right-wing extremism are made more powerful.
