Sen. Zell Miller

2004

• September 1 -- Stolberg Profiles "Zig Zag Zell"
Congressional reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg departs from her usual laudatory tone in a profile of "traitor" Democratic Sen. Zell Miller, who's giving the keynote speech tonight for Bush.

• June 29 -- Sen. Zell Miller: He’s No McCain
The NYT makes one thing clear about Bush-supporting Democrat Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia: He’s no John McCain. While the Times fawns over the prospect of the media-beloved McCain as Kerry’s veep, it lets a liberal Democrat excoriate Miller in highly personal terms for planning to speak at the Republican convention.

• April 7 -- Kerry-McCain, Media Dream Team
Adam Nagourney reports on Kerry's VP hunt--and it doesn't take long for media hero John McCain to show up.

• March 19 -- “Unavoidable” McCain, Avoidable Zell
Reporter Todd Purdum related with relish on the front page how Sen. John McCain proclaimed on morning TV that John Kerry was not “quote, weak on defense.” Utterly left out: any Republican outrage. This is not how Sen. Zell Miller was treated for his friendship with George W. Bush.

 

• 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.

• November 14 -- Jehl Again Buries Details of Demo Memo
Douglas Jehl again discusses the partisan conflict on the Senate Intelligence panel while leaving out how the panel came to be feuding in the first place--a Democratic memo that shows the Democrats plotting to use the Senate hearings for political gain.

• November 6 -- Jehl Buries Dirty Details of Demo Memo
Douglas Jehl buries the contents of a Democratic intelligence committee memo which suggested using the supposedly bipartisan committee for political advantage during Bush's re-election campaign--and ignores a Democratic senator's fiery criticism of the tactic.
