See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0329.asp -- Still Standing Up For Clarke The Times paints Clarke's 9-11 testimony as confirming the Bush administration's worst fears, while cheering Clinton's anti-terror efforts: "The evidence suggests that Mr. Bush allowed the terrorism issue to drift down the list of White House priorities from the relatively high importance given it by President Bill Clinton's national security aides." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0329.asp#2 -- Still Harassing Katherine Harris A lead editorial brings up liberal villain Katherine Harris and spreads misleading information on her role in the 2000 presidential election: "Purging voting rolls too aggressively, as Ms. Harris did in 2000, can change the party breakdown of the electorate." But the company that did the purging was hired by the state in 1998, before Harris took office. See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0329.asp#4 -- A Tale of Two Tax Plans A proposal from the Democrat candidate is a "response to widespread anxiety," while the Republican plan "would increase the nation's already swollen federal budget deficit." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0326.asp -- Clarke's Book a Must-Read, Say D.C. Lefties It's still all Clarke at the Times, with two front-page stories. Rachel Swarns finds unlabeled leftists to chatter about Clarke's must-read book, while a news story concludes: "With the economy faltering and Democrats so united, Mr. Bush's terrorism credentials are portrayed by his supporters as the strongest assets he has going against Mr. Kerry. The revelations -- in particular, the account offered by Mr. Clarke -- could give Mr. Kerry ammunition to attack Mr. Bush on foreign policy." And the Times is pitching in. See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0326.asp#2 -- Giving the Losers the First Word The Unborn Victims of Violence Act passed by a wide margin, but Carl Hulse's piece lets the liberal minority have the first word: "Opponents denounced the bill, adopted on a vote of 61 to 38, as an effort to undermine the constitutional right to abortion by recognizing the fetus as a person." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0326.asp#4 -- God -- I Mean Gosh -- I Admire You Linda Greenhouse admires adamant atheist Michael Newdow's Supreme Court testimony: "...no one who managed to get a seat in the courtroom is likely ever to forget his spell-binding performance." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2004/0325.asp#2 -- The "Perceived Threat" of Hamas? Israel's assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the "spiritual leader" of the anti-Israel terrorist group Hamas, enables the Times to call Yassin a lot of names, among them "Icon" and "Perceived Threat"--but not "Terrorist."
