what about PragerU or the NRA is "extreme" right wing? Only as "extreme" as MSNBC is left...

  It is ridiculous to suggest that MSNBC is "extreme left wing", absolutely ridiculous. On the Citations Needed (CN) podcast, there is an episode where an MSNBC tv Anchor goes on to defend CN's criticism of his network. During this podcast, the anchor states that being openly anti-capitalist or socialist will get you laughed out of the room there. To suggest a network with that kind of hostility to criticism of Capitalism is "extreme" left wing is farcical. MSNBC is painfully centre-left and pro-Democratic party.

    I think you made his point for him. Your contention is that MSNBC is not extremely left left wing. His contention is that the NRA and PragerU are as extremely right wing to the same degree that MSNBC is extremely left wing. So if MSNBC is not extremely left wing, then I think GP's point is the the NRA and PragerU are perhaps not so extremely right wing as GGP implied

      Though I think I made it clear that MSNBC is not extreme left-wing, I didn't make it clear that their juxtaposing of MSNBC's centre-left political platform with the platform of PragerU is wrong, and I perhaps initially misconstrued their comment. PragerU has hardline-conservative positions on climate-change, abortion, religion, immigration, and economics that are certainly more deserving of being called extreme than MSNBC is deserving of being called left.
