Doesn't the causal arrow point both ways? Can one not reverse this observation? Fox's right-wingery is much madder than in an alternate universe where NPR isn't... isn't... isn't what it is.
"Supinely centrist" doesn't seem right to me. There's nothing supine about it. It's *actively* centrist, which is to say that it's always very energetically splitting the difference between Fox's latest enormity on the one hand, and whatever centrism was yesterday.
