You give more credit to the average reader than is due. I would wager that if you looked at the site's statistics, less than half of those that clicked on the article with the graph clicked on the link within to read the methodology.

Unbiased doesn't always mean the article is well thought out or that they present graphic information well. Bias is only one facet of this sort of thing. But I would also say that by using that definition of "socialistic" they are showing bias. None of those politicians advocate for anything more than a mixed economy, but they portray it as socialism. That's bias.
