Probably because you have an affinity for them from the outset. Just as those who have respect for left wing media likely had an affinity for liberals from the outset.

It's long been my opinion however, that they need to be dealt with. Just as the pet terrorists they control need to be dealt with. I have zero respect for them, and look forward to seeing a lot of these ideological extremist organizations dismantled over the next decade.

It's time to turn up the heat on these people so high that they won't know who to trust.

Heh, my respect for rw media is generally pretty low. Its just that my previous respect for lw media has been steadily getting shaved away. Probably amplified by the way that I'm exposed to far more of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get dismantling of extremists. Rather, I see the opposite, further partisanship where one's extremists are ignored and only the enemy should be criticised. The rapid crystallization of the Pro censorship movement on traditionally free speech supporting circles for their political opponents seems to support this.
