LAT finds bias hard to prevent

When the names of Barack Obama and John McCain appear in the same headline in the LAT, Obama's name invariably comes first. Why? That's just the way it is at the LAT.

Begining on the front page today, LAT reporters offer news and commentary about McCain's and Obama's campaigning in Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada over the weekend. On the whole, the reporting is reasonably balanced but the headline and first few paragraphs are tilted toward Obama.
