Campbell Brown had a good interview afterwards explaining how she tries to do real journalism as a CNN anchor and not impose the artificial balance of letting two sides speak for equal time regardless of who's more right.
Politico has the same approach:
There have been moments in the general election when the one-sidedness of our site — when nearly every story was some variation on how poorly McCain was doing or how well Barack Obama was faring — has made us cringe. As it happens, McCain's campaign is going quite poorly and Obama's is going well. Imposing artificial balance on this reality would be a bias of its own.
