If the media is going to talk of someone not so readily known, a definer is helpful in shaping, pre-gauging what one's reaction should be to the character about to be introduced. If sympathy is absolutely not wanted the simple use of words like "conservative-" or "right-wing-" before someone's actual name usually suffices as a "ignore all that follows" indicator. A lack of definition is employed to confer the illusion of impartiality (but usually when "rabid-Commie-sympathizer-" would be more honest). Very good work, AnnaZ, and I really like this paragraph.
