I am developing new respect for Kanye.

I guess you didn't read the story.

Here's the bit ZeroHedge said

Owens, a conservative activist and communications director for right-leaning nonprofit Turning Point USA, has accused Black Lives Matter of embracing victimhood - telling a group of BLM protesters at a Friday UCLA speech she gave: "It’s embarrassing. You’re not living through anything right now. You’re overly privileged Americans.”

24 hours later, Kanye tweeted his support of Owens - after which the left immediately moved to smear both of them.

And here is their one piece of "evidence"

Twitter, for example, immediately branded Owens a "far-right media personality"

So, ZeroHedge call her a conservative activist and part of a "right-leaning" group. That's the right wing conspiracy theorist website saying she's right wing and then complaining when "Twitter" agrees with them - while providing no evidence that it is anything more than a headline.
They are spinning a story to try to make it far bigger than it is.
They, Faux News, Inforwars, etc will run the story - publicity for the sake of publicity, all based on media hype.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make?

How does "conservative activist" equate to "far-right"?

Anyone not lefty PC is 'alt-right' - apparently...

when a right wing conspiracy website refers to someone as having right leanings (did you notice those words, or did you just stop at "conservative activist"), then they must be fairly far to the right.

[woohoo]

i have right leanings because I believe in personal responsibility. Also, believe in a public health service. So I could be described as having right and left leanings. So when you say " then they must be fairly far to the right" is that one of them there assumptions.

I'm still not sure what your point is? It sounds like you're trying to 'debunk' the 'story' by referring to ZH as a 'right wing' (is right wing a bad thing to be?) conspiracy theory site.

It's just coverage of some tweets from Kanye & some other 'right wing' (or should I say 'evil'?) person of color telling BLM that victim mentality is dis empowering them - much to the dismay of the 'alt-left' (who apparently are 'good').

What exactly is so bad about being right leaning? Aren't most of the posters here Tory voters?

Same here - I have right leanings in as far as capitalism and enterprise and opportunity is concerned, also personal responsibility. I support Jezza for his anti-war stance but also Donald (when he was campaigning at least) for the same.

I love capitalism - but cannot stand corrupt revolving door politicians who are owned by special interests. I think war/arms for profit is a scourge of our society. I also believe in the NHS and that we can look after the disadvantaged a bit better and if we closed down the offshore tax havens and claimed all that avoided/evaded money we'd be in much better shape - but don't like HMRC focusing so much resource on little people while ignoring the very big ones where all the money is (see above point about corrupt revolving door politicians).

What does that make me? last time I took a political survey it told me I was a 'left libertarian' (whatever that is).

Same story - but from an MSM site:
