The pro-Obama bias is everywhere. On the front of Thursday’s Washington Post sports section, columnist (and ESPN star) Michael Wilbon offers fulsome praise for a football owner who went Obama-can:

TAMPA — The hardest thing to do in football is catch Dan Rooney in a misstep.
He lets an all-pro like Joey Porter go, and the replacement, James Harrison, becomes the NFL’s defensive player of the year. Whomever he hires as coach, whether it’s Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher or Mike Tomlin, leads the Steelers to the Super Bowl. The policy that finally brought the NFL out of the dark ages when it came to head coaching diversity? It’s called the Rooney Rule. He’s a life-long registered Republican, just like his dad Art, yet worked passionately to put a Democrat, Barack Obama, in the White House.

This comes a few days after Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins insisted to the brand-new president that he should micromanage the sports world: fix the college-bowl “swindle,” singlehandedly “save tennis,” shoot hoops with Candace Parker to promote the women’s game, and even “fight for equal pay in women’s sports. Issue a public statement that Pat Summitt should never make a dime less than the men’s coach at Tennessee for the rest of her career.”
