> Because of this, just like the first Trump shooter, the media will quickly completely forget about the suspect's politics. I don't really see this bias existing to the extent you seem to be implying. The first Trump shooter didn't have many apparent political motives, and the second was completely crazy. The media definitely stops talking about things soon after they happen, but I don't have the impression that they're turning the a blind eye to right wing extremism. I mean, just look up "right wing extremism US" on Google news. I expect that in this case, the shooter's motivations will defy the standard left/right split as more information is released, much like his apparent influence Ted Kaczynski. You mention Rogan, but Rogan supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. I would say liking Rogan shows an anti-authority streak more than anything. As for why right wing politically motivated attacks seem to be more common than left wing ones, I'd suggest a few causes. - People who have access to guns, grew up around guns, are willing to buy guns are more likely to be right wing, and are more likely to be identified as right wing for obvious reasons. - People with low agreeableness and high neuroticism are more likely to be right wing, and those traits perhaps make politically motivated attacks more likely. - Extremist right wing thought has perhaps been more effective in recruiting followers than extremist left wing thought since the fall of the Soviet Union.
