• October 19 -- Kerry
Hurt by Lesbian Comment?
Adam Nagourney argues Kerry's "strong performance" in the debates
may have been jeopardized when he brought up Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter and
insists Bush "dodged" a question on whether homosexuality was a
choice.
• October 15 -- No
Sympathy For the Cheneys
A story on John Kerry's unprompted debate mention of Dick Cheney's lesbian
daughter comes off as unsympathetic to the Cheneys, and tries hard to make gay
marriage a conflict between Cheney and Bush.
• October 14 -- Times
Leads With Kerry's Loaded Lesbian Comment
Surprisingly, the Times' front-page debate coverage includes
undecided Iowa voters reacting with disapproval to Kerry's invoking of Dick
Cheney's lesbian daughter.
• August 30 -- The
Lead Convention Story So Far: Left-Wing Gripes
A Republican Party "controversy" makes the front page of the Times
special convention section: David Kirkpatrick's story, "Cheney Daughter's
Political Role Disappoints Some Gay Activists," is dominated by criticism
from left-wing gay-rights groups.
