my favorite topic - media bias

from CNN - just the first paragraph:

(CNN) -- The Tea Party movement basked in the glow of victory Wednesday after its favorites won two primary elections the night before over more mainstream Republicans, demonstrating again the clout of the political right.

Now the question is whether the right-wing candidates can also defeat Democratic rivals in November's congressional elections, when the stakes are higher and the full electorate is deciding.

The results in Delaware and New York highlighted the last major day of primary voting before the upcoming election in just under seven weeks.

Voting in seven states and the District of Columbia included embattled veteran U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel's victory in his New York Democratic primary despite allegations of ethics violations, and D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty's bid to hold off a major primary challenger.

Have you ever seen democrats called left wing in a news article? Never! This is the media trying to label republican candidates as extremists. the tea party is a fairly centrist movement. The media plays on peoples fears of the christian right. Im sure Im just nutty again. So, with all the press today on the primaries. Can someone show me some examples of the media calling democrat candidates left wing?
