2004

• August 18 -- "Alarming" Environmental Bias at the Times
A Dean Murphy story (with an alarmist headline, "Study Finds Climate Shift Threatens California") accepts as fact the theory of man-made global warming while pushing an "alarming" study from left-wing environmentalists.

• July 27 -- Lauding Ron Reagan, Dissing Sound Science
The Times continues the misguided stem-cell crusade.

• July 14 -- Ron Reagan Jr. Steals the Show
Thomas Crampton trumpets Ron Reagan Jr.'s scheduled speech at the Democratic National Convention: "Republicans may have placed the feel-good legacy of Ronald Reagan center stage, but the Democrats just stole the best actor in a supporting role."

• July 13 -- Unlabeled Liberal Health "Experts" vs. "Conservatives"
Mireya Navarro portrays liberal activists as nonpartisan health "experts" fighting "conservatives."

• June 15 -- Reagan and Bush, "Panderers to the Religious Right"
Frank Rich, who's never made a secret of his distaste for the Reagan administration, revels in the former president's "performance chops," if only to make Bush look callow by comparison.

• June 15 -- The Times To Bush: You're No Ronald Reagan
Sheryl Gay Stolberg gets a full anti-Bush story out of a sentence Ron Reagan Jr. spoke at his father's eulogy.

• February 19 -- Spinning Left-Wing Straw Men Into Anti-Bush Gold
A left-wing activist group's rehash of old reporting is transformed into an anti-Bush news story by science reporter James Glanz.

 

• September 22 -- Cucumber-Flinging Monkeys Fight for Fairness
Adam Cohen’s editorial summarizes a study of the group behavior of capuchin monkeys: “In a week when fairness was so evidently on the ropes--from the World Trade Organization meeting in Cancún, which poor nations walked out of in frustration, to the latest issue of Forbes, reporting that the richest 400 Americans are worth $955 billion--the capuchin monkeys offered a glimmer of hope from the primate gene pool.”

• April 22 -- Abortion Numerology
A partial-birth abortion story features a Gollum-style struggle over just how many such abortions are performed: “It is not known how often [partial-birth abortion] is performed in the United States, but its use is limited to the latter weeks of the second trimester. Even then, it is not always the procedure doctors choose. In fact, it is practiced very rarely.” Got that?
