Talk about bias and fun with words knowing few will actually read the details.
So Business Insider has a headline:
"All of the extremist killings in the US in 2018 had links to right-wing extremism, according to new report"
And leads the reader to assume all such killings were right wing motivated, when in fact it was below 50%:

But if one bothers to read the report from the the ADL, one finds:
"Ideological motives appear to have played a primary or secondary role in 19 of the 50 extremist murders (38%) in 2018. In the remaining murders, either the role that ideology may have played is unclear, the motives in general are unclear or the murders were likely committed for non-ideological reasons."
So of the 50, 19 (apparently...) motivated by right wing ideology. Now, I'd bet $, 50% was left wing motivated, and the left over unknown. See ADL report:
