Simple. The MSM is trying to cast doubts on Benedict XVI's "legitimacy"--or "gravitas," if you will. They'll conveniently forget to mention that he needed two-thirds plus one of the 115 Cardinals to get selected *at all*. So he needed 78 votes, and if their numbers are right (and I would love to know by what underhanded means they got them, if they are), he got 82 of 115 votes. Pretty good mandate in my book.
