The gist of this post, as I read it, is that the questions were 'social conservative' questions, and your definition of conservative leans much more on 'fiscial conservative' issues, to include libertarians and "eagles".

Okay. Fair enough. But. Haven't we just highlighted another chasm between the newsroom and the country? In most of America, the default value for "conservative" describes the positions of George Bush, not Arnold Schwartzenegger. The fact that, as you point out, social conservatives are "bewilderingly alien" to you and to major news people, just confirms that the news rooms are very distant from the political pulse of most voters, to the point of using basic political words like 'liberal' or 'conservative' to mean quite different sets of positions.
