I am not advocating for this group, but it seems impulsive to categorically dismiss an infographic because you don't see your "demographics and values" on it. Especially since the picture being question isn't trying to display that information. It's not trying to identify parties. It's grouping thoughts about varying political world views and ideologies. Why don't you read how they did the polling for the data:

Quote:America is a complex and diverse society of 325 million people. By definition, any categorization of a group this large must make choices as to which types of differences are meaningful and simplify some realities. There is no definitive “correct” number of groupings in which to categorize Americans.
In reviewing the groupings that emerged from multiple iterations of the hierarchical cluster analysis process, we found that seven groups were distinct enough from each other to be worthy of presentation as separate groups. If we had presented more than seven groups, some of the groups would be so similar to each other as to be hard to distinguish. Presenting fewer than seven groups would have resulted in members of some tribes being too different from each other to be accurately placed under the same label.

Finally, we see the value in segmentation studies not for defining tangible and authoritative groupings, but for challenging the categories by which analysis is typically done. For instance, there is not a single type of liberal or Democrat or woman, but several types. Furthermore, many of our most important differences are not visible demographic traits. Instead, much of our diversity lies in the more subtle and concealed domains of psychology and beliefs. Understanding these realities can help portray American society more fully and more accurately.

I'm as skeptical of a lot of social science data as anyone, especially because the work is not being peer reviewed properly, but I haven't seen anything radical or overly biased about the work being done here. If you see something, feel free to point it out. Again, I posted that pic, not because it was an exhaustive list of every group in America, but to show that there is a large group in the middle that can be potentially influenced by a liberal media bias.
