Barack Obama's and John McCain's tax plans but failed to note that the study contradicted Republican strategist Andrea Tantaros' claim that under Sen. Barack Obama's tax proposal, "an average family making $61,000 -- just alone letting the tax cuts expire -- would go up $2,100." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806160008 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:44:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805120006 On <em>America's Newsroom</em>, Andrea Tantaros stated: "Barack Obama refuses to salute the flag. He refuses to wear a flag pin. He's been named the most liberal senator in the United States Senate right now." Bill Hemmer did not challenge her statements, the first two of which are false and the third of which echoes a <em>National Journal </em>rating given Obama that was based on a limited number of Senate votes selected by<em> National Journal</em> staff. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805120006 Mon, 12 May 2008 20:19:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 On numerous May 8 programs, Fox News anchors and reporters promoted the notion that Sen. John McCain is reluctant to discuss his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In fact, as Media <em>Matters for America</em> has documented, McCain has repeatedly highlighted that experience. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 Fri, 9 May 2008 19:36:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090005 Referring to comments Sen. Barack Obama made during a CNN interview, Fox News' Julie Banderas stated that Obama "made what some are calling a dig at John McCain's age." But Banderas did not provide the full context of Obama's remark, nor did she note that Obama was responding to a smear by McCain. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090005 Fri, 9 May 2008 14:48:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803050013 On <em>America's Newsroom</em>, while discussing a video clip of Sen. Hillary Clinton drinking a beer on the campaign plane, Bill Hemmer asked Fox News' "body language expert" Tonya Reiman: "[I]s that an honest moment, a moment of levity?" Reiman replied: "You know, the only thing that struck me as odd is, she's holding the beer with her left hand, and she's a righty. And if you think about how you would normally take a sip, it's a little bit awkward to drink with your nondominant hand, unless you have a reason to be doing that." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803050013 Wed, 5 Mar 2008 19:52:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130008 While discussing the "dogfight under way" over the Protect America Act, Fox News' Megyn Kelly falsely claimed that "this bill," which "allows the president to, among other things, surveil the conversations between American citizens and those suspected of being terrorists overseas" is "set to expire on Friday," February 15. In fact, only revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act made in August 2007 would expire; the government would retain the authority to monitor the communications of suspected terrorists. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130008 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:47:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711160008 CNN's Anderson Cooper and Gloria Borger, and Fox News' Megyn Kelly claimed that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "waffled" during the Democratic presidential debate on the issue of driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. In fact, Obama stated: "Look, I have already said, I support the notion that we have to deal with public safety and that driver's licenses at the state level can make that happen." When debate moderator Wolf Blitzer asked him to respond "yes or no" to the question, "Do you support driver's licenses for illegal immigrants?" Obama answered, "Yes." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711160008 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:53:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710160007 Fox News' Bill Hemmer mischaracterized Rush Limbaugh's comment about "phony soldiers," stating on <em>America's Newsroom</em> that "Limbaugh called a soldier a 'phony soldier' after that soldier made up stories about atrocities in Iraq." In fact, Limbaugh characterized as "phony soldiers" -- not the singular "phony soldier," as Hemmer claimed -- service members who support U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200710160007 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 15:52:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100005 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:01:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050005 Fri, 5 Oct 2007 14:07:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020010 Purporting to "give you some background on this quickly," Fox News' Megyn Kelly said of Rush Limbaugh's comments characterizing service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers": "Rush originally used this term 'phony soldiers' when he was talking about a guy named Jesse MacBeth." In fact, when Limbaugh first used the term on the September 26 show, he had not mentioned MacBeth, and did not mention MacBeth until 1 minute and 50 seconds after he used the phrase "phony soldiers." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020010 Tue, 2 Oct 2007 15:13:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706110003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706110003 Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:58:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030006 Tue, 3 Apr 2007 15:05:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703210010 Fox News' <em>America</em><em>'s</em><em> Newsroom</em> uncritically reported Republican assertions that Al Gore violated House and Senate committee rules by not submitting copies of his testimony 48 hours in advance, but did not note that committee rules give the chairman authority to waive or ignore the requirement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200703210010 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 16:25:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702280007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702280007 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:42:00 EST
