I don't think the parent comment was saying there was a problem per se with her being an outspoken socialist. But it's easy to imagine media leaning towards the conservative will choose to completely ignore that fact.

It makes little sense.Conservative media didnt stop labelling Obama as "socialist"(which he clearly is not * ) even after he got his prize. *: I cant think of one thing he did that was "socialist", even the mandate thing was designed by conservative think tanks,hmm... yes perhaps the bailout,that definetly was "socialist",but it's not like the Bush administration didnt bail out banks either.

  Obama didn't announce himself as "a committed socialist", and the 'conservative media' that would denounce Obama as a socialist and the 'conservative media' that would consider socialism negative are two (but not mutually exclusive) things. Most of the worlds' conservative media would react poorly to socialism due to the stigmas its' history has created, whereas American 'conservative media' would be more interested in painting its' leader in some specific way. Neither has anything to do with socialism being implacably good or bad, or the article at hand. What's your point?
