The invaluable Media Research Center caught a startling admission by a major media figure. Evan Thomas, of Newsweek, admitted that the media want Kerry to win, and that this is stilting their coverage of the campaign. The money quote:

'There's one other base here: the media. Let's talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. And I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards —— I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox, but —— they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there's going to be this glow about them that some, is going to be worth, collectively, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points.'
