Well, actually they are different. College professors teaching material are going to be less influenced by political affilitation than political operatives. Your hypothetical situation is a poor one.
Let me ask you a question... How would you propose to study partisanship through guest representation on the media in an unbiased way? Are you suggesting it's impossible, or there's a way better than strictly adhering to party lines? The point of this study was to be as unbiased as possible, doubtlessly if mediamatters had grouped individuals based on what they said you'd be saying their categorizations are obviously too biased to be meaningful. Again, this is the only real numerical quantification of a bias in the media. I challenge you to create a better method.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
