Charlie LeDuff

2004

• September 20 -- LeDuff on Rodney King: "Even Good Guys Make Mistakes."
Rodney King comes off more like Martin Luther King in a profile by Charlie LeDuff.

 

• November 6 -- Schwarzenegger, The Burning Man?
Charlie LeDuff interviews American Indians who suffered in the California wildfires--and passes along anti-Schwarzenegger conspiracy-mongering. Was the recall to blame for the fires?

• October 2 -- Injecting Race into the California Recall
Charlie LeDuff attempts to make racial issues out of Schwarzenegger's most popular stands: "In a sign of how racially divided California has become, Mr. Schwarzenegger received a standing ovation on Wednesday when he said he would not let stand a law recently signed by Mr. Davis that allows illegal immigrants to hold California driver's licenses."

• September 29 -- California Needs Higher Taxes, Part 1
Charlie LeDuff characterizes the campaign of Arnold Schwarzenegger (now leading in the California governor’s race) as a feel-good exercise that ignores the need for tax hikes: “Promising deliverance without sacrifice and a balanced budget without tax increases…”

• August 8 -- Schwarzenegger, “The Villain”
Charlie LeDuff’s piece on the California recall election brings up “tabloid accounts of groping and boorish behavior on movie sets” against Arnold Schwarzenegger, proving the Times has changed its tune on scandal-mongering since Bill Clinton.

• August 1 -- Gross Generalizations OK For Liberal Causes?
Danny Hakim takes a moralistic look at the popularity of pickup trucks: “The trend toward bigger-than-ever pickups has broad implications for the safety of American drivers, the environment, oil consumption and the financial health of the auto industry.” He also generalizes about pickup truck drivers: “They tend to drink more and use their seat belts less often, figures show.” Would the Times let anyone else spread such stereotypes?
