The reaction of the Post and others makes perfect sense if we underastand that to conventional lefties (As opposed to radical leftists), the left wing view is the norm and anything that deviates from that norm is to be considered out of line or troubling. This is just another example of how the establishment left will refer to someone as the "right wing" so and so but never say the "left wing so and so". It's the same thing as noting that a conservative owner will use the paper to advance his agenda but will never note the opposite.

Because The Washington Post would never ever under any circumstances consider doing that.
