MSNBC called Robertson and Giuliani "both strong supporters of Israel," but omitted past relevant statements by Robertson
SUMMARY: Reporting on Pat
Robertson's endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Rudy
Giuliani, MSNBC anchor Peter Alexander asserted, "Giuliani and Robertson:
both prostate cancer survivors, both strong supporters of Israel."
MSNBC campaign reporter Matthew Berger stated, "They have traveled to Israel
together." And NBC News political director Chuck Todd said that "to
a lot of evangelicals, the war against Islamic fundamentalism, protecting Israel
is actually a bigger issue than some of these other issues." But at no
point in discussing Robertson and Israel did an MSNBC news anchor or
Todd note Robertson's past controversial comments regarding former
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke and former Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination.
