The worst kept secret in science media, what one honest liberal blogger called The White Elephant In The Room, is its overwhelming partisanship.

It's easy to rationalize that. If Republicans are anti-science then naturally the biggest defenders and cheerleaders of science, journalists and bloggers, would be Democrats.
