Sen.
Zell Miller
• 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.
