They don't think it will offend their target audience? The term "ultraconservative" generally implies a negative. I thought the Washington Times was a more conservative newspaper than the Post, or do I have them reversed???
I really think they want readers and revenue.

Conservatives are supposed to bash our own. Then apologize for being conservative.
Not that it has ever won an election. Quite the contrary.
But that’s what happens. Conservatives bash our own, then apologize.
Thus: The Tea Party! :)
