Too often the political and media establishment contribute to an environment in which hatred can thrive, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

When it comes to the threat of Islamist terrorism, no one doubts the role of radicalisation. The internet, hate preachers such as Anjem Choudary and Abu Hamza, and the western-armed, extremism-exporting state of Saudi Arabia: all play their part in radicalising the impressionable. When it comes to the far right, however, this consensus is absent.

Such blatant far-left extremism and shameful exploitation by the morally corrupt Owen Jones. When will you realise that you are perpetuating hate and division?

OwenJones84 Comments are not open. How does that square with 'we need to talk about...'?

Communism is just a bad OwenJones84

Well said, Owen. P.S.

The media is getting me angry and wound up due to the uneccasary amount of coverage. They fuel it more than most media platforms if they know it or not. I'm just sensible enough to not do stupid things.

OwenJones84 When are you going to talk about the Koran and its role in fuelling murder, bigotry and racism across the globe? If you aren't prepared to do that, you're part of the problem.

Your article's title implies you are writing about the role of media in spreading far right hate. Was looking forward to some stats about it and your analysis. Instead you talk about people spreading far right hate speech. What is exactly your point OJ ?

OwenJones84 I'm sure Owen writes these articles to convince himself.

OwenJones84 Irish far right RENUAIreland & YouthDefence official, GLKavanagh has podcast with very sympathetic discussion on the Chritstchutch attacker & his manifesto. Thinks the terrorist & his manifesto are 'very interesting' & is 'person not without gifts'.

OwenJones84 Moving the goalposts from anti semitism ,get your own house in order before complaining about next door

OwenJones84 The phrase 'Cultural Marxism' was not invented by Breivik nor exclusively owned by him. Just as the phrase 'Looney Left' does not apply exclusively to Owen Jones.

All kinds of QED from this thread.

OwenJones84 Change the record

OwenJones84 The biggest thing that helps grow the far right is undoubtedly the far left. You girl them, you give them ammo

Yet labour is full of anti semites and corbyn calls hamas his friends little owen cant get enough of corbyn

The Daily Mail for instance.

What if people are being radicalised by what they see in their own lives and on their own streets? What then?

Yes we should...

The far left is more dangerous

Gotta love all these left leaning people leaving comments about far left hatred. Usually the people ranting about the far left also hate the media in general for being too left leaning. SJWs are a whole other problem, the kind that you'd like to debate but you're never able to.

It must cover all religions and all colours not be just white only because the media want to be safe.

Write about far left hate, Owen. That's something you are an expert on and it is far more dangerous than the small number of people on the far right. CulturalMarxism

Short form traditional media is dying, the sooner it gets on and finishes it’s final death rattle the better. The future is long form discussion from independent broadcasters who aren’t owned by anyone

Now do the media's role in far left hate

Owen Jones a man full of more hate than Tommy Robinson

They keep interviewing Tim Martin too

Owen Jones bought and paid for.

Owen’s bedtime reading!
