Africa

2004

• July 14 -- No Aid for Bush's Liberal AIDS Cause
One would think an administration embarking on an aggressive campaign to fight AIDS in Africa would get support from the liberal media. Nope: "The administration's AIDS effort is under sharp scrutiny because it so big, so unabashedly Washington-dominated and tinged by the administration's political ideology." Then the Times brings up Iraq.

 

• October 14 -- The Post Outclasses the Times
At least one national newspaper recognizes an "obvious mistake" when it makes one.

• August 6 -- Times Promises Warm Liberian Welcome for U.S. Troops
Wednesday’s Times continues trying to coax the U.S. into Liberia, with visions of welcoming natives.

• July 30 -- Yankee Come Here!
After lamenting the “rush to war” in Iraq, the Times wants U.S. troops in Liberia yesterday. The headline to Somini Sengupta’s story from Monrovia is headlined: “Oh, if Only the G.I.’s Would Come Marching In.” She also suggests the U.S. wasn’t wanted in Iraq.
