The Bush-NASCAR article was rather bereft of sports content; I would guess it only got filed there because it wasn't much for a political article either and it did possess some tangential NASCAR-related interest. Some.
I guess my point was that I didn't see it as being negative by pointing out political ramifications, it is an election year and I am more ready to expect commentary of this nature.
On the tangent on media bias I'd say that there are plenty of writers/reporters/editors with any kind of slant possible but I would find it silly for someone to say that the whole (or even the majority) of the media is biased against either Democrats or Republicans. [I'd say "liberal" or "conservative" but those terms don't mean much for me anymore, they're often just tied to Dem or Rep, and these political parties are simply coalitions of positions on issues that have ebbed and flowed and have no neccesity to them
