In New Orleans, Dole charged the paper with ignoring a story about a Miami drug dealer who got invited to the White House. Only anti-Dole stories in the New York Times ."

According to Katharine Seelye, who has covered Dole since the beginning of his campaign, the complaints date from December 1995, when Dole staff members first protested that she had misunderstood the candidate's position on abortion.

Since then, campaign honchos have peppered the paper's reporters and editors with constant phone calls and letters complaining about unfair treatment.
