The fact that right wing pundits can whine constantly about Obama getting a free pass from the "left wing liberal media" is proof that most reporters have to lean right in order to appear neutral. Katie Couric in the same week goes after Obama and his postion on the surge, but edits out a comment of McCain's when he gets his facts wrong.
It seems like a plausible notion that the media wants to keep this race close to keep viewers watching. Thank God for Olbermann, he's far from perfect but one of the few I can stand to watch on the tube.
