My memory's fuzzy with regard to those incidents. How many occurrences
were there?


Those and a couple of others, iirc. For a newspaper that wants to
preserve the perception that they are the paper of record for the USA, any
number greater than zero is disastrous. They also tailor their selective
wording for subtle innuendo, as does the Boston Globe (now naught more
than a suburban supplement to the Times). All through the last campaign,
the intentions were obvious. Whenever Kerry met with some group to ask
for support, column heads would be phrased as Kerry meets...., Kerry
confers....., Kerry solicits. When GB did the same thing, the wording
was more aggressive, more violent: Bush hits......, Bush targets......,
Bush chases. Its was never too hard to see what was going on.


What did the NYT do with the reporters who faked their stories?
