This time around I think it's more than just the usual MSM leftward bias. What the Brits may not have noticed is that the MSM actually has a vested self-interest in Obama winning this thing. After all, it won't be long before the MSM will join Wall Street and General Motors at the edge of the abyss and in desperate need of a bailout (and in the MSM's case, coupled with additional protection in the form of Fairness Doctrine v2.0). It's not hard to see which candidate, should he win on Tuesday, is most likely to go along with this.
Before we invest too much credibility on this writer's powers of observation, realize that he credits the media for the election of GWB over Gore.
OTOH, maybe it's just so damned blatent that it's finally blasted through the blinders.

I'm stunned that the Guardian, of all papers, was the one to notice.
Our media has been mostly copying yours, from my observations.
