The media don't see them as extreme because they are on the same page. No one consuders themself an extremeist, so it is difficult to label those with the same views extremist.

Mainstream Media - America's #1 domestic enemy.

I agree.

Following Rueters lead on not labelling 9/11 hijackers as terrorists, but rather those engaging in a "Holy war", they will see fit to describe the perps of this incident as "Ideological Warriors".

No one considers themself an extremeist, so it is difficult to label those with the same views extremist.
As far as the "mainstream" media is concerned, there are only thoughtful, intelligent, moderates and right-wing extremists; you will NEVER hear anyone described as left-wing.
