More Americans believe the U.S. Supreme Court is leaning to the right, ever since President Bush nominated two Justices to the Court, according to a story published nationally from the Washington Post. The finding is the result of a survey conducted by the Washington Post.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

In an editorial published in the news section of the nation's papers, two of the most left-leaning "news" organizations in the country (the poll was conducted with ABC news) attacked the Supreme Court, saying Americans increasingly believe its decisions are unbalanced.

The findings of their "poll" matched their own political leanings for unknown reasons. The questions used in the poll were not revealed. The people selected to participate, and the actual results were not revealed. The margin of error, a technical statistic related to methodology that has nothing to do with poll results but is frequently included to imply accuracy, was not included.

Using standard media terminology, socialist or communist collectivists are mischaracterized as liberal or politically left, while mainstream, centrist, American-oriented individuals are described as "right" leaning. In reality, right describes fascists, and few in the country (outside of some government bureaucrats and other misfits) fit that description.

People who believe in religious values, strong moral principles, right and wrong, limited government, constitutionally delegated powers, rule of law, low taxation, individual responsibility, free markets and free enterprise, private property, due process, marriage, human rights and similar beliefs are the heart of the American way, centrist and moderate, though routinely characterized as fascist or the radical right by the collectivists running the news media.

The article runs on at some length, painting liberal and conservative labels on issues such as racial quotas, discrimination, and abortion, which have no inherent "side" to them. Why editors allowed the editorial to run in the news section was unclear at press time.
