Sam Seder exposes Adam Nagourney misleading report in NY Times.

Below is from "The Majority Report" Blog (a show on Air America Radio co-hosted by Janaene Garofalo and Sam Seder)
---------------------------------------------------------
From Adam Nagourney in The New York Times:
============================================================
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/21/politics/campaign/21repubs.html?pagewanted=all&position=
“...Mr Bush has other factors potentially in his favor, several Republicans said. The economy is showing signs of strengthening, though it remains an open question whether that is happening in time to change voter attitudes about how Mr. Bush is managing the economy. In Iraq, the transfer of sovereignty has led to some reduction in American casualties.”
====================================================
Really Adam? This time, he's not only wrong, it's numerical. According to the Dept. of Defense:

Daily average number of American deaths in:

June (the month before the transfer): 1.67

July (the month after the transfer): 2.19

Email the public editor of The New York Times at [e-mail] and ask for a correction.
----------------------------------------------------

Sam Seder says that the NY Times shouldn't just repeat whatever a Republican says.

If a Republican says something false, the newspaper should point that out.

Seder is asking us to write Daniel Okrent at [e-mail]
to ask for a correction.
