It seems more pervasive on the right and my statement was made in the context of a right wing fear monger's thread. There is no lie.It is a lie of omission. Broadcasting fear is not limited to one side or the other. To be accurate one must acknowledge the fault is inclusive not exclusive.It is a simple, accurate statement.H.L. Menckin said it so well I will quote it here. Note this encompasses both left and right.Peddling fear is a staple of right wing politics.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken
Only a propagandist/liar attributes broadcasting fear to right or left.
