I don't think it's a permanent right-wing bias. They have an interest in having a good story and a reason for everyone to tune in. Thus, Kerry cleans Bush's clock in the debates, and the media do their best to interpret it as a slight advantage lest Kerry run away with it. The media wants this close, and is perfectly willing to tilt toward a buffoon like Bush to keep him close.
