The "some of them alt-right supporters" line is so jarring — it's effectively the media telling you what you should feel (resentment?) towards those redditors.

The "some of them alt-right supporters" line is so jarring — it's effectively the media telling you what you should feel (resentment?) towards those redditors. Substitute this with "some of them Biden supporters", "some of them BLM supporters", "some of them Jews", "some of them vegans" or whatever, to see how insane it sounds.

By contrasting it with correlating two (uncorrelated) groups that didn't trigger an emotional response, it becomes much more obvious that the article is pushing a narrative and not just reporting facts.
