CBS reporter Mark Knoller tries to explain that the disparity between reporters standing for Obama but not for Bush shouldn't be seen as a lack of respect for Bush... but Knoller's own words betray him and show the extent of the media bias.
To quote: reporters, in standing as Obama entered the room "... forgot about the needs of their colleagues in the back of the room as well as the less formal atmosphere of the briefing room. Certainly it was a sign of respect for the president, but not one of disrespect for his predecessor". Well... if standing for Obama as he entered the room is a sign of respect, how could not standing for Bush be anything other than an indication that the media had LESS respect for Bush? If respect is defined as standing, how could sitting be seen as respectful?
