Your quotes bring back memories of how bad the NYT was in the lead up to Iraq -- and not just through employing Judith Miller.

It is strange that having the focus to work years on things that are really important should be considered suspect. On climate change, I was surprised that few papers spoke of his meeting in Boston with the Chinese -- and none bothered to mention the many contacts with the Chinese going back at least to 2006/2007 - in the lead up to the Bali conference.

They would bash Kerry if he was detached - but it is good to know that, at this point, it is really only Obama who he needs to impress.
