Reader Opinion: Radicals on both sides

To call one side protesters and the other side rioters takes media hypocrisy to a new level.

Since last spring the left has been almost silent on the violence that has taken place across the nation. When they burned down Minneapolis they were "protesters" showing "civil unrest!"

Now the violence has come full circle. After being called "deplorables" by Hillary Clinton and referred to as "chumps" by Biden, Trump supporters are being called rioters and marauders. What appeared to begin as a peaceful protest did escalate into a violent attack on the capital. There was no excuse for that.

Let's be honest. The radicals on both sides have gone too far. But to call one side protesters and the other side rioters really takes the media hypocrisy to a new level!
