Headline: FAST, FRISKY AND CAFFEINATED, FOX NEWS LOOKED RIGHT AT HOME ALL WEEK
Reporter: Alessandra Stanley
Message: Fox News is a right-wing hate fest "that envelops loyal viewers in a warm, cozy duvet of rage."

September 3, 2004

Headline: FEEL THE HATE
Columnist: Paul Krugman
Message: Republicans and conservatives, well, you know, hate all things good and true. They are nothing but a group of haters.

Headline: SENATOR WHO CROSSED PARTY LINE IS A POLARIZING FIGURE AFTER SPEECH
Reporter: Carl Hulse
Message: A warning to Democrats who would spurn Kerry for Bush as did Georgia Senator Zell Miller. (Did you see any stories like this in 2008 about former GOP Representative Jim Leach after he spoke at the Democrat's Convention for Obama? Me neither.)

Headline: WITH JAUNDICED EYES AND BARBED TONGUES
Reporter: Jason Zinoman
Message: This is a theater review of two scathing anti-Bush plays. One playwright is quoted as saying, "I feel like everything I did with my life is under attack," comparing the very existence of the Bush administration to the assassination of Martin Luther King. The second play calls Colin Powell a traitor to his race and ridicules the Jewishness of ex-Bush Pentagon deputy secretary Paul Wolfowitz. The point: you can't trust self-hating blacks and shifty Jews who help Bush.

September 6, 2004

Headline: IN TRYING TIME, SCALING DOWN EXPECTATIONS OF JOB GROWTH
Reporter: Eduardo Porter
Message: Once again, under Bush the economy has gone to hell in a handbasket.

September 8, 2004

Headline: PENTAGON RELEASES BUSH'S LONG-SOUGHT MILITARY RECORDS
Reporter: Elisabeth Bumiller
Message: Bush lied about his military service and tried to duck Vietnam service. The story focuses on "Texas for Truth," a Democratic group "questioning" Bush's attendance record while in the guard.

September 9, 2004

Headline: CHENEY SPITS TOADS
Columnist: Maureen Dowd.
Message: The VP is a paranoid nutcase.

September 10, 2004

Headline: KERRY INVOKES BIBLE IN APPEAL FOR BLACK VOTES
Reporter: Jodi Wilgoren
Message: "In a speech to thousands of cheering, swaying members of the National Baptist Convention..." Kerry is "citing scripture and attacking Bush." Kerry has a great connection with minorities and he's religious (but not like Bush) to boot.

September 11, 2004

Headline: CBS DEFENDS ITS REPORT ON BUSH MILITARY RECORD
Reporters: Jim Rutenberg and Kate Zernike
Message: "Dan Rather, the CBS News anchor, moved aggressively -- on the air -- to protect the credibility of the news division." Something is wrong, how can CBS possibly be questioned over what we all know to be true? Go Dan!
