For the Times Watch home page: http://www.timeswatch.org/ Posted on Tuesday, March 25: -- Paul Krugman's Fascist Fantasy Bush-bashing columnist Paul Krugman caught a whiff of fascism at a pro-war rally: "To those familiar with 20th-century European history it seemed eerily reminiscent of....But as Sinclair Lewis said, it can't happen here." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0325.asp -- Media Companies Doing Political Advocacy? The Times Is Horrified The Times can't take criticism of its political advocacy, but it can sure dish it out. Douglas Jehl's story on a pro-war rally spent six paragraphs on Clear Channel Communications, which has helped organize pro-war rallies. Jehl termed it "an arrangement that has been criticized by those who contend that media companies should not engage in political advocacy." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0325.asp#2 Posted on Monday, March 24: -- President Bush, "Con Man?" That's Rich New Times associate editor Frank Rich compared President Bush to a con-man movie character in the movie "Chicago." After accusing the president of "moral arrogance" concerning the Iraq war, Rich described Bush's prime-time news conference: "Like their ?Chicago' counterparts, the Washington press corps were more than willing to buy fictions if instructed to do so by the puppeteer."

"Baghdad Bombing Brings Back Memories of 9/11" by David Chen likened the World Trade Center terrorist attack to the U.S. bombing of Baghdad. "[Some] could not help thinking about Sept. 11, and how New York, too, was once under assault from the skies." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0324.asp#2 -- Even Bush's Allies Hate Him Reporter Richard Stevenson argued, "Frustration with the lack of information from the administration has bubbled up in recent weeks even among some of the administration's strongest allies." As an example, Stevenson quoted?Sen. Chuck Hagel? See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0324.asp#3 -- Pleading Democrats Try To Halt Record Republican Deficits Times reporters Carl Hulse and David Firestone implied it was unseemly for Congressional Republicans to promote Republican legislation during wartime. "Though Democrats pleaded for a halt after the war began, the Republican leaders of the House and Senate chose not to stop their march toward tax cuts and record deficits..." See: http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2003/0324.asp#4 -- Colin Powell, Non-Frightening Bushie Bill Keller pleaded for Secretary of State Colin Powell to resign, admitting: "I can't count the number of times in the past two years I've heard -- occasionally from my own lips -- the observation that the Bush administration would be a much scarier outfit without Colin Powell."
