Fascinating that J.D. felt it necessary to place a warning label on Archbishop Cordileone, the "conservative Archbishop of San Francisco," but no such modifying label on the contrasting example of Cardinal Cupich, who is a liberal archbishop or a progressive archbishop, but merely the "Archbishop of Chicago."

Eh - speaking extemporaneously is not writing an article, you're bound to make a few mix-ups when speaking off the cuff. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I wouldn't read too closely into that adjectival accident.
I don't know about anyone else, but while I am aware that Abp. Cordelione is conservative, it's less connected in my mind that he is the bishop of the San Francisco diocese than it is that Cdl. Cupich is the bishop of Chicago.
Perhaps it's less a "warning label" than just a reminder for people like me who reflexively associate anything in California with liberality that this particular Catholic diocese in that state is a run by a notable conservative Bishop, and the understanding that by way of context clues, the listener would understand that the point he was making really only makes sense if there the Chicago diocese is of contrasting disposition, and that it didn't need to be explicitly stated.
