CNN is doing liberals a disservice by being so stupid.

Maybe you should point to something in that article that is definitively false or something - because as far as I can tell it's dead on.

Yeah, one dude's ramblings.
Edit: shit, I'm not even sure if it's anything but a joke.
That's just gibberish.

Trump’s comments are a slap in the face to anyone who believes that the less aggro elements of Antifa and the AltRight should combine forces to get single payer health care passed and a plan for student debt relief. They could focus their dual energies on dismantling the college football industrial complex.
That's just gibberish.

@xxxxxx It reads like a joke. And nobody has ever heard of it. This isn't some sort of movement bwahaha. Tbh, if this is the only evidence of alt-left out there... CNN is clearly correct.

Somewhat obscure? Are we talking single digits here?
We are discussing national-level movements here - obviously the "alt-left" that Hannity and Trump are talking about doesn't exist. That is a made up term with no meaning. Just because there is a tiny club somewhere - or maybe just one blog - that named themselves "alt-left" doesn't actually change that - especially since they're totally irrelevant and nobody has ever heard of them.
Typing the terms into the address bar isn't especially meaningful, because it provides no context, just some weird blog. Asking people who study this stuff for a living if there is such a thing as 'alt left' is much more sensible.
Dunno, this seems needlessly pedantic really, at most, the CNN could have mentioned the existence of this blog as a footnote, but as far as I can tell, they're not relevant enough even for that.
