Here is a quick run down of the logical fallacies your remark commits.

• Appeal to Popularity - The journal is very popular and respectable therefore everything published on it is credible.
• Ad Hominem - I am not qualified enough to criticize the method used by the study.
• Red Herring - Changing the subject from their method to the journal.

Again, I personally think the media in general is left leaning (from observation) but the methods these guy used to arrive at the same conclusion is flawed.
