This fits with the article's data of young people radicalizing towards the left and the right in equal measure.

A question that doesn't distinguish between the centre-right and the far left will show "radicalization without the average changing" as "the far right growing".

I'm sure corporate and state media are choosing to report on growing support for the far right but not on growing support for the far left for perfectly normal reasons.
