Hmmm...I don't think the article demonizes Miller. He is attacking Kerry, and is noted for being a life-long democrat. I believe Miller is showcased only because he is criticizing quite aggressively his own party's nominee.

As for slanted news, I've long-since decided to not take the L.A. Times or New York Times very seriously in their ability to report unbiased stories, particularly about Bush or Iraq. These papers definitely have agendas to push that seems much more apparent with the deep rift Iraq and the presidency has caused in the U.S.

In newspapers, one is always able to read how a publication "leans" by checking out their Opinions page: this is where the true heart of the paper lies.

CNN's "News Night with Aaron Brown" has a segment in each show where it reports what the next day's newspapers will run on their front page. It's fascinating to hear - according to story and "tone of voice" the political leanings of a publication.
