"O'Sullivan's First Law" seems like nonsense to me. Here are some counterexamples: Centrist political parties. Every small company I have worked for. (Large companies tend to be performatively social-justice-y and economically right-wing.) My local public library. Every choir, orchestra, etc., with which anyone in my family has been involved. The Church of England. (I mention this just because of the presence of the Episcopal Church in the quote. The CoE contains very left-wing bits and very right-wing bits and plenty in between, but as a whole I don't think it can reasonably be described either as left-wing or as right-wing.) I think the only way you can make the "Law" true is to define either "left-wing" or "right-wing" or both broadly enough that everything is either "left-wing" or "right-wing". (I wondered who O'Sullivan was, and noted that a web search brought up a Conservapedia page. In case anyone has forgotten how ... distinctive ... the ideas there are, I remark that their examples of O'Sullivan's First Law include Fox News, CPAC, and Pat Robertson. Anyway, it turns out that O'Sullivan is a former editor of the National Review, another thing that's on Conservapedia's list of Things That Are Now Left-Wing, and he named the "law" after himself.)
