Reporting on Giuliani ad attacking Clinton, media don't note he blamed troops for missing weapons
September 19, 2007 3:14 pm ET
SUMMARY: In reports on a new Rudy Giuliani campaign ad
criticizing Sen. Hillary Clinton's position on the Iraq war, several media
outlets highlighted a quote from the ad in which the narrator says: "[J]ust
when our troops need all our support to finish the job, Hillary Clinton is
turning her back on them." But none
of these reports mentioned Giuliani's claim in October 2004, that U.S. troops, and not President
Bush, were responsible for the missing explosives at the Al Qaqaa weapons
depot.
