In the Tank for President Kerry

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

br> Reporter: Lawrence K. Altman br> Message: Kerry is a real athlete, war hero and cancer survivor. He participates in "strenuous activities like windsurfing," has two pieces of shrapnel "deep" in his left thigh, and has recovered from prostate cancer. What a guy! /p>

p>Headline: AN INVIGORATED KERRY COURTS OHIO, AND SOME SWING VOTERS ARE TAKING A HARDER LOOK br> Reporter: David M. Halbfinger br> Message: "He's not Clinton, but he's close," says a newly admiring voter and Clinton fan. If "new polls are any indication, swing voters are giving Mr. Kerry a second look after his strong showing in the first presidential debate." Kerry is winning, we tell you, he's winning!!!!! /p>

p>Headline: IN THE SENATE, RAISING A (QUIET) REPUBLICAN VOICE AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION br> Reporter: Sheryl Gay Stolberg br> Message: Rhode Island GOP Senator Lincoln Chafee is "stunned" at an agenda of tax cuts, missile defense and saying no to the Kyoto Treaty. More in sorrow than anger, a prep school buddy of Jeb Bush is deeply troubled by the Bush administration. Cheney is an extremist nut. /p>
