Jill Stewart is a reporter who wrote an article on a Gray Davis for the now defunct New Times LA. When she was working the story, she ran into an LA Times reporter working on the same story.
Jill states that she has it on good sources that the Democrats were ready to come out with something horrible that they still couldn't verify. A female labor union official was going to claim rape. This was pulled back since the Los Angeles Times had already slimed Schwarzenegger.
Her original story in 1997 was that Gray Davis had a severe temper and had a rep of getting physical with his staff, attacking his private staff members. He was famous for hurling ashtrays, shouting the "F" word, pushing and shaking them. This was known by the LA Tiimes in 1998.
Stewart took one year to soften one woman up to get her story. One day he flew into a rage because staffers had moved some photos. He went postal shouting, shaking and pushing a 62 year old staffer. She had a nervous breakdown. She suffered dermatoligical shock. She was so effected that she could not continue to work, had to receive medical care and never returned to her job. She was urged to file charges. She approached an attorney who talked her out of it. Either this woman or another policy analyst was shaken so hard she said her teeth rattled. She said to him, Gray, think what you are doing to me. Stop it. He was so furious and out of control that he couldn't stop.
Stewart talked to a reporter who was working on the story... LA Times. They never reported this. She asked why they never did. First of all, we don't go after major political players on anonymous sources. Many editors at the Times were very worried about covering Gray's private conduct.
In 2002 the Times censored a George F. Will collumn, that mentioned Juanita Broaderick. The LA Times actually ran an appology for doing it. Will mentioned the rape of Juanita Broaderick. His mention was a couple of sentences long.
Schwarzenegger's fondeling story went on and on.
There were previous articles about Schwarzenegger's activities in 2000. One was for Premiere Magazine (related story) and the other was for the National Enquirer. This story was out there for years, but the Times picked five days before the election to publish this rehash article.
On Hugh Hewitt's show he mentioned that the LA Times followed up on this morning's article by stating, (paraphrased) "Schwarzenegger admitted to the acts we reported this morning." He did no such thing. He said some reports have been untrue, but that he had acted badly in the past and wished to sincerely appologize to anyone that he had offended. He did not mention the LA Times charges at all.
This article was just mentioned on-air.

Brit Hume discussed this on his evening broadcast pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the LA Times having no qualms putting the fondling story on the front page and the Juanita rape charges on page 15 or so. He said they found Will's statement (paraphrasing) "this President could well have raped a woman 15 years ago" so offensive that they chose to delete it.
He should've been charged with assault.
