Antifa- not a hate group.
BLM- not a hate group.
BAMN-not a hate group.
Basically, any liberal/left protest, resistance group- not a hate group.

The first time a group confronts a Democrat- BAM, they are a hate group.

Trump is 100% right about the press.

Time to start up a Proud Boys chapter near you.
Do any of the other groups ban women from joining as they do? Sounds like the Proud Boys have a lot in common with Incel.

The fact that their name sounds like a boy band really doesn't help their image.

So...you think it's a good thing to be fascist? You'd be pro-Hitler and pro-Mussolini?

Do you even understand the basics of the groups? Do you understand that the basic underlying idea of BLM is that police should stop the criminal murder of black citizens? You disagree with that?

No, I don't think it is good to be fascist, and the Democrats need to stop supporting that type of activity. Antifa, BLM, and recent statements by Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton support fascist like actions.

Your confirmation bias is showing!

Perhaps you missed my comment #7, or don't understand it?

At a minimum, let's not point fingers at others as if we're innocent, shall we? Balance. Please.

Here's an overview of media bias and how bad it is in the US. Very few organizations only report the news. Mostly network news, Reuters or a very few newspapers like the NYT or WSJ are reliable. Some do in-depth analysis, from one side or the other. The rest are total garbage.

I review a good variety of news sites every morning, and as your link suggests, I find it very hard to consider Fox News anywhere near the middle. What I see on Fox News is obviously biased toward the right. Do a little more research about which news sites tend to be less biased than others, and it become clear there really is no precise measure because it is very difficult to measure bias in an accurate way, but this tends to be more in keeping with what I have observed across the news spectrum (and again why I recommend the PBS News Hour above all the others for about as balanced a presentation of the news one can get).

Almost Center News Sources

The following news sources are rated as "Center" by AllSides and are noted for stating an independent and unbiased agenda, as well as consistently providing balanced coverage (giving time to both sides of an issue). However, they are listed here as almost center because of audience distrust from conservatives.

Respondents to the Pew survey who are consistently liberal, mostly liberal, and mixed views, rated these sources as more trusted than distrusted. Mostly conservatives rated them as about equally trusted as distrusted; Consistently conservatives rated them as more distrusted than trusted.

NPR
National Public Radio is a U.S. private and publicly funded non-profit organization that syndicates to a network of local stations.

PBS NewsHour
The Public Broadcasting Service is a non-commercial U.S. television broadcaster and distributor.
