I think his response to Russert's "ooh look at that!" question was pretty valid. The guy is under a lot more scrutiny than, say, Donald Luskin is. I'm sure that any economist would be exposed as having a bias in their articles if hundreds of their articles were scoured over with microscopes. The fact that he didn't exhaustively include every facet of an issue (possibly omitting key elements that affect outcome) is sloppy but not exactly damning, since every economist is guilty of that.

I don't think Paul Krugman's bias is in question by anyone, including Krugman. It is more when he gets caught lying and making stuff up and fails to correct, or in situations like his criticisms of California where he comes off as irrationally partisan.

Especially when his errors and interpretative liberties include things that a first year econ student could figure out.
