The media isn't some monolithic organization of disciplined liberal elitists who get together on tuesdays to discuss the nasty things they're going to say about Bush, despite what Rush and Ann and the lot apparently think (apparently they don't realize they're part of the media).
The media, as a whole, have hardly favored Barack in this election. Some members of the media like him, some like Hillary, some too busy licking McCain's boots to offer much insight on the Democratic primary at all.
The only difference is that SNL (who have seveal media-member-writers are openly Hillary's supporters) did a skit about Hillary's "mistreatment" and she complained about it in a debate. Since then, if anything, she's gotten far better treatment as they all try to prove her wrong by becoming "unbiased, which seems to mean asking about lapel pins, and forgoing critical analysis of her threat to "obliderate Iran" (did anyone else expect her to start banging her shoe on the poduim?).
So again, you might be right that guys like Rush, who's the poster boy for the rich, white, male, I-wanna-be-a-victim-too psychosis, feels a kinship with Hillary. But that makes him delusional.
