Well the NYtimes downplayed it and buried it in the end of the article. I'm shocked that they reported it anyway though. This is the second time this week that the Times reported something that was devastating to Kerry. On Monday, they reported on the interaction between Cedric Brown and John Kerry at that town hall meeting. The Washington Post described Brown as a "heckler," while the Times actually reported the question and answer session, with quotes from Kerry. It was really devastating to Kerry, to use his own words, which is why the WaPost paraphrased it!

Did the NYT run the article in the print edition, or was it just online?
The article was full of little digs at Kerry, not a positive piece at all. By contrast, the Reuters "Kerry on vacation" piece was a big sloppy kiss.

Did you notice though, that the NY times today couldn't report Bush's campaign speech in Orlando without adding in their OPINION that the tax cuts Kerry voted for were responsible for the economic growth of the 90's???
This is exactly the kind of bias Bernard Goldberg explains in his book. It was not blatant bush-bashing... but it does demonstrate that the Nytimes refused to keep their OPINION out of the article.
