What agenda has the right had in these recent events?

Lately it's been trying to steal the created narrative (and yes, it is a narrative) of the plight of the minority. An even keeled person can obviously see that the focus of most "left" media coverage has been injustice to minorities. It's very obviously intentionally focused on. And obviously the "right" takes this agenda personally. It seems almost like a paranoia of white persecution. Either way, I wouldn't necessarily say that these (left and right) media conglomerates are colluding, but at the very least it's a toxic symbiotic relationship that creates disharmony. 

Edit: To insert my personal opinion, when I truly examine the narrative that the media on both sides of the aisle push, the right seems more malevolent. While I don't necessarily disagree with some of the staple principles of the conservative (mainly an inherent distrust of hierarchical establishments, though not as extremely as today's conservatives do), the media on the right comes across as petty and based in fear. To me, it doesn't make sense that socialism is so strongly fought by the right when you look at it in terms of an increasingly automated production of goods and services. A purely unregulated market combined with exponential technological progress will lead to an elimination of unskilled (and even eventually skilled) labor. This will result in a loss of income for workers but the revenue will still be the the same (or even increase) for these companies. It seems obvious to me that this is a recipe for an oligarchal society unless we institute some type of intervention.
