John McCain will attack Sen. Barack Obama for supporting "tax increases," but Nagourney didn't note that Obama has proposed tax cuts for "working-class voters" and others. Nagourney joins other media outlets that have uncritically reported or failed to challenge assertions by the McCain campaign that Obama plans to raise taxes on all or most Americans. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807070010 Mon, 7 Jul 2008 18:41:42 EST NY Times, WSJ reported McCain "has been a champion of public financing," but not that he may be breaking the law http://mediamatters.org/items/200806190005 In online articles discussing Sen. Barack Obama's decision to opt out of public financing for the general election, both The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that Sen. John McCain "has been a champion of public financing." But neither article noted that McCain claims to have opted out of public financing -- and has exceeded spending limits under the public financing system -- during the primary season or that the FEC chairman has taken the position that McCain cannot legally opt out without FEC approval. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806190005 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:47:43 EST NY Times baselessly suggested Obama campaign highlighted McCain's age without noting context of remarks or campaign's denials http://mediamatters.org/items/200806150002 The New York Times' Adam Nagourney suggested Sen. Barack Obama had highlighted Sen. John McCain's age when he said that McCain was "losing his bearings," but Nagourney failed to note that Obama made the comment in response to a smear by McCain and was accusing McCain of violating his pledge to avoid negative campaigning. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806150002 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:38:27 EST NY Times' Nagourney ignores McCain reversal on immigration http://mediamatters.org/items/200803240005 The New York Times' Adam Nagourney stated in a March 24 online piece that aides to Sen. John McCain "are beginning to see a general election upside ... to the problems that Mr. McCain's support of immigration legislation caused him in the primaries." However, Nagourney did not mention that McCain reacted to those perceived "problems" by abandoning his own comprehensive immigration reform plan. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803240005 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:54:44 EST NY Times' Nagourney uncritically repeated Farrakhan, "most liberal" attacks on Obama http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290016 A New York Times article about possible attacks against Sen. Barack Obama in the general election reported that Sen. John McCain's aides said "their first line of attack would be to portray [Obama] as a liberal, and they have already begun pointing to a rating in The National Journal, based on his votes, of Mr. Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate." But among the "liberal" positions Obama took to earn the distinction of "most liberal senator in 2007" were his votes to implement the bipartisan 9-11 Commission's homeland security recommendations, provide more children with health insurance, expand federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, and maintain a federal minimum wage. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290016 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:13:50 EST NY Times' Nagourney says Romney vulnerable to charges of inconsistency ... but McCain isn't? http://mediamatters.org/items/200801300011 In a January 30 New York Times news analysis of Sen. John McCain's victory over Mitt Romney in the Florida primary, Adam Nagourney wrote that while McCain "presents himself as a man of principle ... who is willing to suffer the political consequences for breaking with party orthodoxy," Romney "is in line with all the proper positions for a Republican conservative, but he underwent a series of transformations to get there, leaving him vulnerable to the charges of inconsistency Mr. McCain has hurled." Yet on immigration and abortion, McCain too has displayed "evolution" and "inconsistency," a fact nowhere to be found in the Times report. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801300011 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:35:24 EST NY Times' Nagourney compares hatemonger Coulter to Sen.
