These "accidents" always end up swinging one direction
Farrakhan advocates for black separatism and has frequently criticized Republicans while being embraced by Democratic politicians, but that didn't prevent the news outlets from somehow labeling him as "right-wing."
Among the outlets that used the bizarre labeling was the Washington Post, which faced criticism online from those stunned at the mistake.
"Do words mean things anymore? Farrakhan isn't far right. He's a blatant anti-Semite defended by a significant portion of the Left," tweeted Ben Shapiro.
"What in the actual hell?" responded commentator Kira Davis. "Louis Farrakhan has never once been considered on 'the right' - far or otherwise."
