SUMMARY: Following President Obama's comments at an August 11 town hall that "AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare," ABC News' Jake Tapper and Fox News' Bill Hemmer reported that Obama was incorrect and that the AARP hadn't endorsed any specific bill. However, while the AARP did release a statement saying it hadn't endorsed a bill, it also praised Obama's "insistence that any final reform package will not reduce Medicare benefits," which neither Tapper nor Hemmer reported; moreover, Tapper and Hemmer did not note that the group has previously praised the House tri-committee bill.
