• October 22 -- Bush's
Judicial Philosophy Based Purely on "Reaping Political Benefit"?
Neil Lewis' front-page story on Bush's federal puts a cynical spin on the
president's judicial philosophy: "There could have been no clearer signal
that Mr. Bush intended to follow the pattern set by his father and President
Ronald Reagan of shifting the courts rightward and reaping the political benefit
of pleasing social conservatives."
• August 25 -- Harping
on Overseas Unpopularity of Guantanamo
We get the point, Neil.
• July 28 -- Foxy
Republicans
The Times claims Republicans are "Fox's natural
constituency."
• February 17 -- Democratic
Whistleblowers, Republican Villains
Neil Lewis sounds indignant over Republican Senate staffers who obtained
Democratic memos: "But the Democrats have now confidently gathered in a
herd on the moral high ground….Faced with a difficult-to-defend situation,
many Republicans simply withdrew from the field of battle, quietly slipping out
of the room." The Times hasn't always been so judgmental about partisan use
of improperly obtained information.

• December 1 8 -- Well
Boo-Frickity-Hoo
"Taliban Detainee Is Depressed, Lawyer Says"
• November 14 -- Quoting
Zell Only When Liberals Yell
The Times won't report Democratic Sen. Zell Miller's excoriation of his
party over the Senate Intelligence memo, but quotes him to try and make
conservatives look bad.
•
October
20 -- Brownout
on Fact-Checking
Neil Lewis asserts Bush nominee Judge Janice Rogers Brown "would be the
first black woman to sit on the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia." That probably comes as a surprise to Judith Rogers, a black
judge who currently sits on the court.
• July 31 -- Conservatives vs.
Tolerance, Naturally
Reporter Neil Lewis pits conservatives vs. “tolerance” on the subject of gay
marriage.
