There is a lot of soft reporting on nativist groups in general, especially at Fox. Outright white power places often get the focus on their ‘border control’ aspects rather than their racist ideologies.

This is an extreme example, but in general, the media slants reporting on groups like this to soften it. I don’t think it’s about not angering people, I think it’s just about the fallacy of objectivity that gets pushed, that the media should have some ‘objective’ way of reporting on Nazis, on racists, on people who want women who were raped to give birth even if the pregnancy threatens their lives.

But super-objective way of reporting this would be “however groups like SPLC and ADL say…”. Wiki-like “reliable sources”.
