For years, NewsBusters has not only pointed out liberal bias in traditional media outlets, but also when it occurs in sports coverage.In a fine example of why this is so important, ABC sportscaster Suzy Shuster on Tuesday published a letter at the Huffington Post begging actress Tina Fey to make weekly appearances as Gov. Sarah Palin on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in order to get Barack Obama…
