Who? How? You really think that the multiple layers of editorial control let this become a widespread phenomenon?
You really think that there's one segment of the American workforce (main-stream media) that is just magically overrun by Democrats, and ones without any apparent sense of journalistic ethics at that?
That's kind of where I'm going with the Occam's Razor issue - since the nation as a whole (and particularly the college-educated portion, of which journalists would be drawn) leaned Obama, you should expect journalists to as well, but I just don't see it as endemic beyond that simple fact. Certainly nothing to be aghast at, or that can't be seen as having massive contribution from an awkward McCain campaign.
