Kitty Kelley

2004

October 11 -- Trashing "Unfit for Command," Loving Kitty Kelley
After spending seven weeks near the top of the Times best seller list, the NYT finally issues a 100% negative review of "'Unfit for Command," while giving a favorable notice to Kitty Kelley's trashy anti-Bush "biography."

• September 16 -- Kitty Kelley Finds a Cozy Home at the Times
The Times finds a cute way to put Kitty Kelley's unsubstantiated anti-Bush allegations (or as Frank Bruni would say, "thoroughly researched piece of work") into the paper.

• September 14 -- Room for Kitty Kelley, None for Swift Boat Vets
After ignoring the book "Unfit for Command" by members of the Swift Boat Veterans (now #1 on the New York Times best seller list), the Times greets Bush-hater Kitty Kelley's trashy anti-Bush "biography" with a front-page Arts section review.

 

• September 25 -- The Times vs. “Scurrilous Biographies”…Sometimes
Michiko Kakutani reviews an anti-Clinton biography and doesn’t like it one bit: “Nigel Hamilton's new biography of Bill Clinton represents a sleazy new low in the chronicling of presidential lives. It regurgitates the most scurrilous and unsubstantiated rumors about Mr. Clinton and his wife…” So the Times would never herald a book full of “scurrilous and unsubstantiated rumors” about a president and his wife? Ask Nancy Reagan.
