• 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 25 -- More Guilt by Association for Swifties
Another Times story employs guilt by association against the Swift Boat Veterans: "Mr. Bush's campaign aides have repeatedly said they have no connection to the group, almost all of whose challenges to Mr. Kerry and his war record have been contradicted by official war records and even some of its members' own past statements….it has gradually acknowledged ties to people close to the Republican Party and Mr. Bush's campaign."
