The intellectual honest truth is almost always somewhere in the middle between two extreme competing views. All of the things like feminism gone full retard, campaigning to not be offensive ad absurdum, racial incitement and victimization under the guise of equality, they're all sides of the same coin, what we call in europe the left wing ideologies.
What is happening in belgium atm is rather fascinating in that regard. The center-right party won the last election and they completely took over the government. The left has been all but silenced. In the first few days they screamed "racists" (in parliament, literally) but for perhaps the first time noone listened anymore and the government held firm. Now law after law is being passed that puts the screws on immigrantation and immigrant problems. It seems that the times they are a-changing, at least in europe.
Europe has always been the hotbed for this, as it was also the birthplace. Like you say, two sides of the same coin. People like to claim Nazis and Soviets were two diametrically opposed groups, but they were basically the same, just that their views of exactly which oppressed peoples to protect was different. Nazis preferred the Germans (nationalism), the Soviets preferred the proletariat (classism). In a vein most similar to the Soviets, the left-wing in the West considers its oppressed as those of lower social status in ethnic, gender, or wealth means.
Most of the media hails from this view, primarily classism side. Intentionally or not, they believe the cause of problems is oppression of class and perceived minorities of power. This is in stark contrast to the other branch of western ideology, grown in Britain and the US and some around the Netherland/Belgium region, where the common man is considered powerful. I personally espouse this view because it is the most economically sound and has yielded results far beyond what the other ever did.
It's not a coincidence that Europe is an economic basketcase, with abysmal unemployment, yet this gets very little media coverage. Europe is the bastion of political policies preferred by the media, and they'll be damned if they say an unkind word about those policies
