Ultra

Many years ago, I once wrote something about how the media, mostly in its dealings with the rigth-wing, tends to use superlatives.

Ultra-right.
Ultra-nationalist.
Ultra-Orthodox.
Extremist.
Etc.

Rarely are Israeli MKs who are communists normally termed "communists" in reportage (as opposed to profiles).

Or "radical".

And almost never "extremists".

An example?

Here:

Ultranationalist Leader Joins Israeli Government


Ultra bias.
