Another prime example of this is the false equivalence media often draws between fascism and antifascism, simplifying it down to "both of them sometimes use violence". (anyone who cares enough to look will notice that violence is a rare, and never preferred, antifascism tactic)

Luckily there are a few semi-mainstream and occasionally mainstream outlets who don't fall for this nonsense.
