(I'm sorry this is in HTML- but that's how I prepared it for elsewhere. Here's a linkl to my website:

http://www.adamyoshida.com/2004/10/something-odd-about-latest-kerry-ad.html

Thanks- AY).

I'll leave aside the bizarre idea of taking out ads to insist that you won a debate, but I noticed something else odd in the latest ad coming out of the Kerry Campaign.

Look closely at that headline and quote. It says "Skewed Intelligence on Iraq Colored the March to War". It cites the source of that as the Sunday edition of The New York Times (October 3, 2004).

Well, here's the interesting thing: a search of the Times' web site shows that the phrase has never appeared there.

A search for the shorter phrase "Skewed Intelligence" again yields no hits.

A seach for simply the word "skewed" shows that it last showed up in the Times on September 29th.

Now, my assumption is that the headline shown in the Kerry commercial refers to this story in the Sunday edition of the Times, entitled "How the White House Embraced Disputed Arms Intelligence."

But note, the headline on the Kerry commercial is in quotation marks, representing it as an exact quote from the times.

This leaves us, in my view, with three options:

1) The Kerry campaign's ad people paraphrased (or guessed at) the title of a forthcoming story and stuck it in the ad.
2) Someone from the Times told the Kerry campaign a proposed title ahead of time and it was later changed.
3) For some other reason the title of the article referenced and the actual article do not match.
4) I'm an idiot who is missing something obvious.

I don't know which is the answer at the moment. But I'd sure like your help.

Well, I still see nothing with those words.

I mean, it more or less paraphrases what the article says- but it's so specific, and in quotation marks.

How about this. The article was ghost written by camp Kerry, and an editor did some "editing".

well Oct 3rd is tomorrow, maybe the story isn't posted on the website yet?

Maybe Michael Moore produced the ad. He fabricated a newspaper headline for F911, after all...

Here it is in todays New York Times but the New York Times changes the headline before it publishes probably to hide the evidence. So, the Kerry Camp gets advanced notice of future articles so they can get their ads in sync. I think it's about time that the New York Times gets the Rather treatment.

Skewed Intelligence Data in March to War in Iraq

In 2002, at a crucial juncture on the path to war, senior members of the Bush administration gave a series of speeches and interviews in which they asserted that Saddam Hussein was rebuilding his nuclear weapons program.

Do a search on Google News and there are two sites that have it listed this way. The other site is http://www.infoshop.orgYour Online Anarchy Community.

Well, I figured that to be the most likely option.

After all, the ad was up on the Kerry web site by 9ish PDT last night so, I imagine, it would have been cut some time earlier in the day. Probably around noon or so.

So, then the question becomes: what was the New York Times doing giving the Kerry campaign it's headlines ahead of time for use in an attack ad?

Some papers print early editions the day before. I know a couple of weeks ago, we received on Saturday morning, a complimentary copy of the Sunday Atlanta Journal and Constitution in hopes we'd see what we were missing and take out a subscription. They didn't know we choose to not waste our money on that excuse for a paper.
