John McCain's campaign used a corporate jet owned by his wife's company over a seven-month period beginning in the summer of 2007, several members of the media asserted earlier this year that McCain flew coach when the campaign was low on funds. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280006 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:59:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704040013 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704040013 Wed, 4 Apr 2007 18:30:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090016 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090016 Fri, 9 Feb 2007 18:01:31 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611100003 Contrary to Karl Rove's pre-election assertions -- which the media accorded significance despited his presumable responsibility to express optimism -- Democrats won control of both houses of Congress. This raises the question of whether the media were wrong in treating Rove's optimistic predictions as anything more than a job requirement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611100003 Thu, 9 Nov 2006 20:10:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020008 Thu, 2 Nov 2006 12:01:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060009 CNN's Joe Johns and National Public Radio's Ken Rudin declared that portions of a political ad by Minnesota Democratic congressional candidate Patty Wetterling, claiming that "[c]ongressional leaders have admitted covering up the predatory behavior of a congressman who used the Internet to molest children," were false. But neither Rudin nor Johns noted that admitted actions by members of the House Republican leadership arguably had the result of a "cover-up." http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060009 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 18:43:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060007 Reports on National Public Radio and NBC's <em>Today</em> uncritically repeated House Speaker Dennis Hastert's false claims that Democrats generated the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley. Similarly, an October 6 <em>Washington Post</em> article also failed to note reports that directly contradict Hastert's claims. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060007 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 18:03:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060005 Following House Speaker Dennis Hastert's press conference, numerous media outlets trumpeted the news that Hastert took "responsibility" for the Mark Foley scandal but ignored his later statement, during that same press conference, that "I haven't done anything wrong." http://mediamatters.org/items/200610060005 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 16:58:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050009 Conservative commentator Paul Weyrich and <em>700 Club</em> host Pat Robertson baselessly asserted that former Rep. Mark Foley's alleged misconduct is typical of gay men. As <em>Media Matters for America</em> has documented, studies that link homosexuality and child sex abuse are flawed and have been thoroughly debunked by numerous experts. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050009 Thu, 5 Oct 2006 15:42:53 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609300005 Discussing negative campaign ads on <em>The Big Story</em>, John Gibson aired a clip by Sen. Rick Santorum's campaign attacking his Democratic opponent, Bob Casey Jr., without including an ad or even a response from the Casey campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609300005 Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:01:53 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608220005 Various media outlets ignored President Bush's statement during an August 21 press conference that the United States will not withdraw its forces from Iraq as long as he is president. Those outlets simply reported that Bush pledged to keep U.S. forces in Iraq until "the mission is complete," and offered no indication that Bush pledged to keep troops there for the remainder of his term. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608220005 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 16:18:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605170008 Following President Bush's announcement of his proposal to deploy as many as 6,000 National Guard troops to the Mexican border, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff defended the administration's plan to bolster border protection in numerous media appearances and interviews. But in their coverage, media generally failed to mention that in December 2005, Chertoff characterized the deployment of the National Guard for border protection as "a horribly overexpensive and very difficult way to manage this problem." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605170008 Wed, 17 May 2006 16:35:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180003 On April 17, numerous news outlets -- including NBC, CBS, NPR, and Fox News -- covering former Illinois governor George Ryan's conviction on corruption charges failed to mention that he is a Republican. <em>Time</em> magazine went a step further, omitting Ryan's Republican affiliation while reporting that "the current administration of Democrat Rod Blagojevich is also being investigated." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180003 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 14:13:15 EST
