Yes it is. Which is why we're hearing a lot of the negative things about Reagan along with the coverage of the processions and funeral. The media recognizes that Kerry had to take a week off because of this, and Bush can only gain from it, so they're limiting the Rah-Rah attitude that they could have given it (ala Fox News, which is tedious after 15 minutes of watching).
Media, because they are an investigatory function, necessarily cannot be conservative in tendency, which advocates status quo. Their very existance requires a left-of-center position.
But, in contradiction, I learned of a chinese coal mine catastrophe, the loss of Ray Charles, and the killing of construction workers in Afghanistan, all on the media that was only talking about Reagan. Shhhh!
