Two NY Times headlines from today:

White House Under Fire for Projections on Jobs

Scientists Accuse White House of Distorting Facts

The Bush administration has deliberately and systematically distorted scientific fact in the service of policy goals on the environment, health, biomedical research and nuclear weaponry at home and abroad, a group of about 60 influential scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates, said in a statement issued today.

Those Nobel laureates have no axe to grind against Bush, do they? The simple, unfortunate fact, is that most people only read the headline. The Times is on a mission to get Kerry into office, or more correctly, get Bush out of office. So much for their ombudsman.
