In the Tank for President Kerry
The New York Times and the 2004 media narrative designed to defeat George W. Bush.

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.)

p>Headline: WITH JAUNDICED EYES AND BARBED TONGUES
br>
Reporter: Jason Zinoman
br>
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.
