Could very well be. But remember that the media very often are so transparent about being Democrats that they are a good sounding board of what is on their minds. Did you ever see the Larry King interview with Al Gore? KING: "So Al, which one of the GOP candidates will be toughest for us, errr, I mean, you, to beat?"
The media lately is all over the fact that the Dims message is being diluted by Iraq. Loss of the Senate means GW Bush's judicial nominees actually get a hearing. The judiciary is a pagan religion to Democrats---it validates their ideology and warped sense of morality. They are terribly worried about losing control of the Senate.....CNN almost accused Bush of a "Wag the Dog." The other reporter caught him before he finished his sentance.
