• October 26 -- Times'
"Explosive" Scoop: Bombshell or Politically Motivated Dud?
The Times trumpets two front-page stories blaming the Bush
administration for letting almost 400 tons of powerful explosives disappear
under its nose in Iraq. Grim news -- but is it true? An NBC News report suggests
maybe not.
• June 30 -- The
Times' Power Failure In Iraq
A front-page story cites complaints from upscale Baghdad residents about electricity shortages. But they fail to note power is now distributed more fairly around the country and no longer favors Saddam-blessed Baghdad.
• June 14 -- More (Power) Failure In Iraq
James Glanz's front-page story on electricity shortages in Iraq takes a strident tone, claiming Allied failures have "damaged the occupation's efforts to foster stability and good will among a populace already traumatized by the failure to guarantee their security." As if security was guaranteed under Saddam.
• May 4 -- “Star Wars” Graduates from “Misbegotten…National Fixation”
In today’s Science Times section, reporter James Glanz previewed “Star Wars: The Next Version.” Reagan’s “national fixation…which faded into the realm of misbegotten high-tech dreams,” is now becoming reality. Glanz balanced the piece with conservative missile-defense supporters and liberal critics, but labels were not applied.
• February 19 -- Spinning
Left-Wing Straw Men Into Anti-Bush Gold
A left-wing activist group's rehash of old reporting is transformed into an
anti-Bush news story by science reporter James Glanz.
