It takes a greater degree of self reflection than most possess to recognize your own biases.

From their perspective, their viewpoint is "centrist"- normal, reasonable, and just. Any deviation to the right would thus be unreasonable and abnormal.

The real cognitive dissonance comes into play when they don't extend that same criticism to deviation to the left. So we end up where these publications treat extreme left wing communist style ideology as "maybe just a little too harsh, or too much too soon, but fundamentally the right idea from good people just like me." And everything to the right of their opinion is treated as fascism reborn on a massive scale.

I basically view anyone who says they're Democrat (to include pretty much all the mainstream media) as mentally retarded at this point.
