<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Just asking because I thought <a href="http://news.google.com/news?q=source%3A ... 1%22">this article</a> interesting in its bias:
<i>"You need to know something about me," he said to the <b>highly partisan crowd</b>. "I will never turn over America's national security decisions to leaders of other countries."
But Mr. Bush noted: "The enemy declared war on us. Nobody wants to be the war president. I want to be the peace president. The next four years will be peaceful years.'' <b>He repeated the words "peace'' or "peaceful'' many times, as he has done increasingly in his recent appearances.</b>
"Oh, I know you think I'm going to spend most of the time attacking my opponent," Mr. Bush told the crowd, <b>the sweat dripping from his face and soaking through the back of his blue shirt as he moved around the podium.</b> "I've got too much good to talk about."
<b>That promise did not stop him, however, from claiming a few minutes later that Mr. Kerry's plan to roll back the tax cuts for families earning more than $200,000 a year would harm small businesses and discourage investment.</b> "Now is not the time to raise taxes on small-business owners," Mr. Bush said.
Mr. Bush, who, like his rival, <b>is a millionaire many times over</b>, took the opportunity to portray himself as an ordinary guy, <b>though one who has a good-size ranch among his assets</b>.
Though Mr. Bush held the rally at a community college, <b>he chose not to dwell on education</b>, instead rolling out <b>a revamped stump speech that homes in on the argument that the way to keep the United States safe is to keep him in office</b>.
And, <b>unable to resist an end-of-day shot at Mr. Kerry</b>, he added, "If you disagree with the senator on any issue, you may just have caught him on the wrong day."</i>
Granted, liberal bias of this nature is rare, and I don't blame NYT for it, but is this typical for Sanger's articles? The question of bias, though, is that stuff like this DOES need to be said. A news article is a summary of events, and unless you print out the entire speech, you have to selectively pick which phrases to print.</div>
