Has there ever been a reference in the NYT/Washington Post/Boston Globe, or on CBSNBCABC, to an "extreme left" party, or a "far left" party?
Was the CPSU ever referred to in this way?
There is no extreme left because no matter how left a party is, it's not left enough for the liberal media elite. For reference see The Official New York Times Guidebook for Descriptive Writing*: "Ralph Nader - progressive, environmentalist, consumer advocate, presidential candidate,
moderate."
* For humorous effect only; no such guidbook exists
