The KKK was a group to try and protect white interests. Not to say they were justified in everything. I'm willing to believe that they were smeared in the exact same way that Trump, America First, the Proud Boys, etc, are now today.
Of course they were infiltrated as every kind of secret society is, and that's why you have Hillary Clinton fraternizing with KKK members in recent years. It doesn't mean that she's secretly a white nationalist, just that the organization was entirely subverted to the point that it's nearly indistinguishable from anti-white internationalists now.
The only perspective that is relevant in the modern day is if something is anti-white or if it is pro-white. Everything else derives from that.
Yeah, it can be easy to go in the opposite direction and immediately take the opposite stance the media makes but that would be playing into their game as well.
Instead of the old "Trust but verify" the stance has to be "Doubt but investigate"
Really, it was a confederate veterans club at first. It wasn't until the Reconstruction Act divided the south into 5 military districts, whose commanders appointed a lot of illiterate former slaves to government positions, that it started leaning into terrorism.

This is a 1967 comic for instance. The media has been doing the same tricks for a very long time.
