For example, the article on former Obama advisor David Plouffe identifies him as an "American political and business strategist," and MSNBC host and political analyst Al Sharpton is described as an "American civil rights and social justice activist." Although the articles do describe their partisan activities, they aren't called liberal or leftist in them at all. Plouffe was even "invited to join" ACRONYM, "a liberal nonprofit." But he’s not called "liberal."
