Times Watch Tracker:
New Civility Only for Republicans, Apparently
A Sunday editorial chides Republicans for refusing to change the name of an anti-"job-killing" bill. But a Tuesday headline reads: "Where News Is Power, A Fight to Be Well-Armed."
Rick Berke Justifies the Times' Politicized Tucson Coverage
News editor Rick Berke defends the Times politicized coverage of the rampage in Tucson: "After all, a politician was shot in the head while meeting with constituents. That same lawmaker had her office vandalized during an especially rancorous campaign. And after the shooting the sheriff called his state the capital of hatred and bigotry." But the paper's Public Editor disagrees.
Tale of Two Congressmen: 'Conservative' Tom Coburn, But 'Democrat' Chuck Schumer
Labeling disparity: In a story on Congress marking the shootings in Tucson, the Times notes that two senators will be sitting together at Obama's upcoming State of the Union address: Tom Coburn, a conservative Republican from Oklahoma, and Sen. Charles Schumer, a plain old Democrat from New York.
Shocking: Frank Rich Blames GOP for Pre-Tucson Violence
Columnist Frank Rich weighs in on the Tucson shootings in predictable fashion by blaming the GOP: "Few wanted to see what Giffords saw - that the vandalism and death threats were the latest consequences of a tide of ugly insurrectionism that had been rising since the final weeks of the 2008 campaign and that had threatened to turn violent from the start."
