NBC's Myers advanced "value[s] voters" myth, cited Tony Perkins

SUMMARY: During a report on the fallout from Sen. Larry Craig's guilty plea for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, NBC's Lisa Myers reported that Tony Perkins says "value voters have lost faith in the Republican Party and warns that Republicans had better be sure their members are living up to pro-family rhetoric." In doing so, Myers joined other media figures in advancing the myth that social conservatives are more concerned with "values" than other voters.
