Cambodia

• August 30 -- Lost in Cambodia
In his story on Bush and Kerry's Vietnam history, David Halbfinger manages to bring up Cambodia without mentioning Kerry's discredited tales of spending Christmas 1968 there.

• August 27 -- Still Ignoring Kerry's "Christmas In Cambodia"
The Times again couches Swift Boat charges in a dubious light: "The Swift boat veterans, whose most serious charges have been contradicted by official records, some of their own past statements and a number of witnesses, got most of their initial money from Texans supportive of the president." Plus: Kerry in Cambodia, ignored again.

• August 26 -- More "Unsubstantiated" Swift Boat Accusations
Elisabeth Bumiller's front-page piece on the resignation of a Bush campaign lawyer argues the Swift Boat story could be bad for Bush, and nearly ignores Kerry's "Christmas in Cambodia" falsehood.

• August 23 -- "Undermining" Swift Vets, Ruing "False Information" on Blogs, Talk Radio
The Times insists that the "most serious contentions" of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "have been undermined by official records and conflicting accounts." Co-author Adam Nagourney frets in a related story about "this era when so much unsubstantiated or even false information can reach the public through so many different forums, be it blogs or talk-show radio."

• August 20 -- "The Times Attacks the Swift Vets"
The Times finally devotes a front-page story to the Swift Boat veterans challenging John Kerry's Vietnam war record--but it follows a pattern reminiscent of the Clinton scandal days in focusing on the subjects making the attack instead of the actual anti-Democratic charges raised, an angle clear from the headline, "Friendly Fire: The Birth of an Attack on Kerry."

• August 12 -- "Mocking" Bush Drowns Out Kerry's Foreign Policy "Nuance"
Kerry's admission he would still vote to give Bush war authority invites a David Sanger story with the loaded headline: "For Now, Bush's Mocking Drowns Out Kerry's Nuanced Explanation of His War Vote." Also: Where's the NYT on Kerry and Cambodia?
