There is nowadays a great deal of censorship from the left in America. For example, shutting down of talks like https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2017/0

  And there is plenty of opposition from "the left" itself against that kind of censorship

    Whereas there's no opposition from "the right" against the Nazis for examples?

      Obviously most of the right is against Nazis, but the modern conservative faction seems to draw a much higher ratio of violence and fascist rhetoric than the left. When something happens, the media gives right-wing fascists the benefit of the doubt; "we don't know who he is", "he doesn't represent the movement", "he was scared", "he was attacked", "he's crazy", and once the proof is out they tend to draw false equivalencies with left. That doesn't happen as much on the left - it's stigmatized full stop, no excuses. CNN's clickbait news will drag it out

Does it though? Because I found the majority of the media except niche-oriented ones like FOX and Breibart do not fit that profile.

          I should have said conservative media. CNN had no problems attacking with everything they knew, but they avoided excess speculation and treated the Charlottesville attacker the same as Hodgkinson... which was my point.
