Special Report

In the Tank for President Kerry

The New York Times and the 2004 media narrative designed to defeat George W. Bush.

(Page 4 of 12)

p>Headline: SENATOR WHO CROSSED PARTY LINE IS A POLARIZING FIGURE AFTER SPEECH br> Reporter: Carl Hulse br> 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> 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. /p>
