NYTimes attacks Davis for doing the same thing Arnold has been doing

As Recall Vote Nears, Davis Goes on the Offensive
By DEAN E. MURPHY

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 26 — Senator Dianne Feinstein was asked last month why she supported Gov. Gray Davis in his recall fight, when a decade ago Mr. Davis compared her to the jailed tax evader Leona Helmsley in a widely criticized campaign commercial.

"Lesson learned," Senator Feinstein said of Mr. Davis on the NBC News program "Meet the Press." Pressed further, she added: "I hope so. I believe so."

The unanswered question is whether Mr. Davis can take on Mr. Schwarzenegger without resorting to what many Californians regard as his natural political reflex — an unseemly knack for the underhanded — and thereby undoing the progress that Senator Feinstein and others insist he has made in winning back many voters.

This type of media right wing favoritism (the whole article in an underhanded attack on Davis as a dirty campaigner) is the reason we are going to have a hard time in 2004.

When was the last time any major media devoted two pages to attacking Arnold for his negative ads (which he promised he wouldn't run and which he has been running for over a week), or anything else?

1. I'll attack Davis for not doing it enough:D

A fighting Democrat is better than a "tame" Democrat.

2. Hey

Isn't this the same publication that O'Lielly is always calling a "left-wing" propaganda machine? Hmmm.

3. Who gives a good god damn what NY Times say about California?

I'm a long time California Democrat and I don't give a rat's ass what any part of the NY Times says about California. Besides, a beltway whore is a beltway whore is a beltway whore, regardless of who it writes for or what it writes about. When the NewWhore Times finds a way to atone for Howell Raines, then, maybe, just maybe, it will carry some weight with me.

4. The only ad I've seen from Davis re: Schwarzenegger

is one that has exact quotes about Arnold from
various news sources.
These are like the ads Davis ran against Riordan...
just the facts in black and white.
