If the Article Doesn't Say "Conservative," It is Liberal

I always get a kick out of supposed news stories that discuss actions by political action groups. Any time a conservative group addresses an issue, the article never fails to use the term "conservative" to describe the group, thus discounting anything they wish to say.

As this article about Sen. Bill Frist's (R-TN) campaign funds clearly shows, there is an absence of the adjective "Liberal" to describe the liberal group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Thus, the article leads readers to believe that this group is something other than a partisan hatchet group used to dirty the opposition.

The charge is ridiculous, but that's beside the point. If you read "conservative," you know a group is conservative. If there is no adjective, you know a group is liberal.
