• April 29 -- Snell and the Terrorist’s Plea Bargain
The Times promoted the “Quiet but Aggressive Staff” on the 9-11 Commission. The story’s lead character, Dietrich Snell, tells the Times that he heard a terror suspect promise revenge as he was led away. The New York Daily News had a slightly different story in 2001.

• December 11 -- Kyoto
Curtailed by White House
The Times rehashes criticism of Bush for not backing the environmental Kyoto
Protocol, and again fails to note Bush isn't the first to reject the Kyoto
Protocol--the Senate did so while Clinton was in office.
• October 14 -- Nobody Here But
Us "Progressives" and "Populists"
If Dennis Kucinich isn't liberal, who is?
• September 23 -- More Government
= More Efficient
Reporter Jennifer Lee offers a suggestion to make health care simpler and
less expensive: Get the government more involved. “Nonprofit advocacy groups
have long argued that the efficiencies gained in having one centralized payer
would help provide comprehensive health coverage for everyone.”
• August 11 --
Weird Science On the Times Copy Desk
A scary subhead to a story on a California ban on flame-retardant chemicals
(“Agent Tied to Learning Disorders in Children”) isn’t backed up by the story
itself.
