Some of the most notable MSM "power words" of the current zeitgeist:
"Far-Right"
"Controversial"
"Green"
"Denocracy / Anti-democratic"
And in the particular case of Russia you have "Russian Opposition Leader" which has variously been applied to Garry Kasparov, Alexei Navalny and other western-friendly politicians who never got more than single-digit percentages of any vote and were never as important in Russian politics as the actual anti-Putin opposition, who are all more nationalistic than he is.
Great point.

You forgot Fascism and Nazi, which are interchangeable with Far-Right and often contradictory in application.
Or the funniest one, incel, which is usually applied to married men with children or PUA or the complete opposites of what an incel means.
often? always. they're literally the opposite of far right.
