Why Does The Media Only Apply Labels To Conservatives?

Have you ever noticed that the media only applies labels when they're quoting a conservative?
I find it interesting that whenever somebody quotes a Republican or Conservative they always preface it with a "Conservative" label. It's almost as if they're putting out a disclaimer say "attention people... this is coming from a wacko conservative".
For example, if Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh say something, the news will always say something like "Conservative Host Sean Hannity said XYZ", instead of simply saying "Sean Hannity said XYZ".
It wouldn't bother me if there wasn't a double standard. The label itself is accurate, but they never use labels for Democrats and Liberals in the media. You never hear anyone say "Liberal Host Bill Maher said XYZ", or 99% of the mainstream media, which tend to lean somewhat liberal.
By applying the label only to Conservatives, it's a subliminal way of labeling anything the person said as less than accurate.
