Youth health insurance fight looms (7/30/07, page A10)

Tony Pugh, McClatchy
Bias all over this story.
1) CCTimes headline makes it sound like Bush is anti-insurance for the young. Mr. Bush is anti-taxpayer funded insurance for people who don’t qualify for Medicare. Meaning they should pay their way just like the rest of us do.
2) Pugh writes: “. . . Congress this week will move [...]

Governor’s popularity with GOP on the wave (7/30/07, Front Page)

Mike Zapler, MediaNews
Typical journalist. Completely clueless about what Republican think. We’ve been unhappy with Gov. Kennedy for about 2 years.

Comic section (7/29/07, Comics pages)

Sheesh, you can’t even read the funnies without running into Bush Derangement Syndrome.

The only thing truthful in that headline was “poll says.”
Here’s the opening paragraph: “About half of the public thinks the Supreme Court is generally balanced . . .”
Clear example of the CCTimes playing politics with polls.

Democratic candidates stand out with intangibles (7/28/07, page A13)

Biased headline.
The headline should read: Democratic candidates attempt to stand out with intangibles

Economy rebounds with solid growth (7/28/07, page C1)
