Deborah Howell / Washington Post:
An Obama Tilt in Campaign Coverage  —  The Post provided a lot of good campaign coverage, but readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama.  My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.

Steve Benen / Washington Monthly:

Jeanne Cummings / The Politico:
