I don't think they use the definition of liberal that you think they're using.

They’re not, this is the traditional polling version of liberal vs. conservative — the one that everyone who is not terminally online uses and can understand as it has been around for over a century.

It wouldn't make sense to ask people are you conservative or conservative, would it?

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Exactly. And these terms have been used in both academic and general public forums for a very long time. It’s such a weird thing to get hung up on.

Also, outside of opinion pieces, the FT tends to be fairly central, as it's generally purchased by people who want information to make financial decisions with.
