Was the Press Really Strongly Biased Against McCain?

[Commentary] Yes, the press is biased - in favor of recognizing who is winning and stating that perhaps too often. We may be reading for years about the strong media "bias" against McCain when it was mainly (although perhaps not completely) a matter of Obama leading the horse race and getting credit for that by reporters who were, surprise, not deaf, dumb and blind. Strong bias in news coverage of the 2008 campaign may yet be shown -- but it's not proven so far.
