It's a leftist shibboleth to refer to any actor on the Right as "Far Right". Sticks out like a sore tooth once you notice.pic.twitter.com/FdNIN41DrV

it's not exclusive to the left. the radical right wing has been practicing this for decades, calling moderates and liberals far leftists.

AP/reuters/WaPo/NYT do have a significant left bias but there are major right biased newspapers too, though perhaps not as wide circulation
