That's just as hurtful in reality. Now tons of people who don't know any better or read anything else think it was passed and supported by everyone in Arizona and is now law. If the media was less sensational, rational people would understand it wasn't supported by a majority of businesses and people in Arizona and isn't likely to (and didn't) become a law.

It's not really media bias. I think the story was building each day and the new pressures from companies and politicians rose to high levels. Since it came to a crescendo last night CNN's website and the actual CNN (including most all media outlets across the country) were doing wall-to-wall coverage. They actually broadcasted the entire speech by Jan Brewer and talked about the Governor's veto non-stop. I don't think anyone is confused with the outcome. Most of the headlines on it today are smaller because the balloon has popped.
