Today, do we see more news articles and publication postings regarding 4e? Absolutely because there are more new products and more news items related to 4e (as it is the newer edition; 3.X got all the same coverage (if not more) when it was released.
But even historical comparison aside, I don't feel that there is any board ownership/moderation bias.
There are community members on both sides of the issue who are vocal about their stance. People who disagree with one side are going to see that particular vocal opposing subset as "glaring"
But no one stops them from stating their view point; though either side will get stopped once they cross certain lines that will start fights.
Now, if I saw the moderators being more strict with one camp vs. the other camp, then, yeah, I'd say the board is biased, but I haven't seen anything of that sort.
