Progress is Liberal?

Weblosky quotes a NYTimes article by Robert BoyntonWe’re going to be Outfoxed

I was particularly amused (not really)by this :
A large portion of the film’s $300,000 budget came in the form of contributions in the range of $80,000 from both MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the liberal policy organization founded by John Podesta, the former chief of staff for Bill Clinton; Greenwald, who is not looking to earn any money from the project, provided the rest.

Well, obviously, that’s code to a conservative readership that entirely justifies dismissing the whole thing. With names like “Center for American Progress”, that’s gotta be liberal, huh? To take the stance that a critical eye toward someting in the mainstram media, particularly the “Fair and Balanced” , “No-spin” Fox News is enough to deserve the lable of “liberal” and “hopelessly liberal”.
