• September 17 -- Why Should Kerry Have to Denounce Moveon.org Ad?
The Times lets Kerry off the hook regarding a campaign ad from the left-wing Moveon.org--yet the Times repeatedly linked Bush to ads from the Swift Boat Veterans and insisted Bush denounce them.

• August 27 -- Bush Bugs Times By Not Bashing Swift Boat Ads
Bush sits down for an interview with David Sanger and Elisabeth Bumiller and bugs them by refusing to specifically condemn the Swift Boat ads.

• 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 24 -- More Anti-Swift Bias from a Paper "Calling Itself" Objective
Elisabeth Bumiller and Kate Zernike's front-page story on Bush denouncing outside political ads includes a dismissive description of the Swift Boat Vets. Also: What about the "web of ties" between the left-wing Moveon.org and the Kerry campaign?

• June 1 -- No Democratic Campaign Finance Hypocrites?
Glen Justice's front-page story, "Republicans Rush to Form New Finance Groups," lets Democrats make a hypocrisy charge against Republicans, but doesn't point out the hypocrisy on the part of Democrats who once supported bans on "soft money."
