The New York Times accused the political right of being responsible for the majority of extremist violence in the U.S. in a Tuesday newsletter, but failed to note that the majority of cited incidents were not politically motivated.
The NYT’s newsletter cited Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reports to back up its assertions while not providing context on how the reports were composed. However, the ADL used many cases to build its reports where the motivation for the murders listed is not necessarily ideological, with 212 of 443 murders by extremists in the past decade were classified as “non-ideological,” according to the ADL.
