You know it's pretty obvious when even the Washington Post points out media bias.

When Senate Democratic whip Dick Durbin used a Nazi analogy to describe incidents of prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay, it wasn't much of a story at first.

Even when White House spokesman Scott McClellan called Durbin's remarks "reprehensible," "NBC Nightly News" gave the matter three sentences and the other network newscasts ignored it. The NBC and ABC newscasts covered Durbin's tearful apology last week, but the "CBS Evening News" took a pass.

"I just don't think it's that big a deal," says CBS anchor Bob Schieffer. . .

There was no such media reticence when Karl Rove said Wednesday that liberals wanted to offer the attackers of Sept. 11 "therapy and understanding." With Democrats castigating the White House adviser, major newspapers (including The Post) and the NBC and ABC newscasts jumped on the story.

Howard Kurtz does try to say that the bias cuts both ways. He struggles to make the claim that the right wing hacks (Fox News and the bloggers) are ignoring Bush's obvious blunders and shortcomings. He even calls the media fabricated "Downing Street Memo" a "high level British memo", as if there were no doubting it's authenticity or content.
