Arnold Schwarzenegger

• 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 16 -- Bush's Tax Cuts Have Cost California
Bush is going to California, but Times reporters warn the state not to expect too much: "Tax cuts and the cost of the war on terror have emptied the federal treasury, leaving little for California and other hard-pressed states."

• October 14 -- Bush's Forbidden Love?
Paul Krugman outlines his paranoid view of Republicans: "They've decided that the way to win is to give Grover Norquist and the Heritage Foundation and John Ashcroft whatever they want." Also: "Can you imagine the Bush family allowing some member to marry a liberal Democrat?"

• October 13 -- Nagourney's Non-Story on Conservative California Worries
Adam Nagourney files another evidence-thin non-story on how Schwarzenegger's win could be bad news for Republicans: "Mr. Schwarzenegger's sweeping victory stirred anxiety among some conservatives." But Nagourney comes up with just one.

• October 10 -- Jay Leno, Partisan Republican
When is it controversial for a TV personality to show political favoritism? When the politician is Republican.

• 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…”

• September 16 -- Frank Rich: Triumph of a Willful Bush-Hater
Associate editor Frank Rich returns in full rant, calling the recent TV movie on 9-11 “propaganda so untroubled by reality that it's best viewed as a fitting memorial to Leni Riefenstahl.”

• August 25 -- Conservative California Cannibalism

• August 22 -- Krugman the Inexplicable
Paul Krugman’s “Conan The Deceiver” tries to defend California Gov. Gray Davis: “Although news reports continue, inexplicably, to talk about a $38 billion deficit, the projected gap for next year is only $8 billion.” It’s not “inexplicable.” It’s in the governor’s own budget for 2003-2004, and Davis said the same thing months ago.

• August 11 -- Puffing Up Huffington
Two stories on California’s surreal governor’s race try to make Arianna Huffington more palatable, calling her “populist” and “progressive.” Would it kill the Times to call the liberal Huffington “liberal?”

• 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 7 -- The Running Man
The Times story on California’s recall vote notes Sen. Feinstein is out, while action-hero Arnold and “populist” Arianna are in, and offers its readers snob appeal: “Instead of talking about issues like nuclear proliferation and appropriations, as Ms. Feinstein did, Mr. Schwarzenegger made light of his decision to run….” And is Arianna Huffington really a populist independent or just another left-winger?
