A Loser Without a Winner?

Tuesday's vote up in Maine which overturned same-sex marriage legislation has had some interesting press coverage.

Every article I've read starts out by describing it as a loss for gay marriage proponents. Some, but very few, might elude to it as a win for somebody far down in the text.

Now as I understand it, this was a referendum sponsored by opponents of the law, to overturn it. Seems to me that a fair and accurate reporting of it would have labeled the result as a victory, first and foremost.

Why does this keep happening with all of those unbiased news organizations out there?
