After the major defeat of Arnie's propositions on Tuesday I opened up two newspapers I read in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News (supposedly liberal newspapers) and found the following in the op-ed pieces and letters today:
First op-ed pieces in the L.A. TImes here are the headlines: "How the Liars won" The piece is about how the people against the props lied (nevermind it went both ways) and another op-ed headlined "What doesn Arnold do now?" And he is indicating in the opinion piece that Arnie is going to raise taxes as a result of this.
In the Daily News, here is some of the quotes from letter writers(mind you nothing positive was printed) "Major issues promoted by Arnold as "needed for reform" Was it the limited turnout or that they wbelieved the "misinformation" of special interests (I assume he means unions, not business) and since we voted the measures down we will send the state to bankruptcy."
Another letter states the left ran a campaign of mispresentation which is not true if the left did so did the right..
Another states she is leaving California cause taxes are going to go up.
Again liberal newspapers my (BEEP)

I can't comment on the Daily News since I don't get that paper. I do understand from what others have said that it is less liberal than the L.A. Times.
As for the Times, you've got to be kidding. The article you mention "How the liars won" is in the editorial section where opinions can be expressed. I noticed you didn't mention the letters from readers to the left of the article. Most are anti-Schwarzeneggar and I find it interesting that the headline quotes from an anti-Gov message and the top of each column are also anti-Gov. If you want to read letters in favor of the measures, you have to look at the bottom.
I want to point out that the front page has 4 articles about how the governor was beaten. For good measure, there's another such article on page 3 of the California section. This is two days after the election. Yesterday's Times was loaded with all of this in both the main and California sections.
It appears to me, at least, that the Times is really out to make it clear how the governor was defeated.
I hate to let facts get into this but the Governor was beaten
...and the Times seems to be trumpeting it out as loud as they can.
The Times trumpets their victories they should trumpet the defeats
