John McCain's Al Qaeda-Iran gaffe, CNBC's John Harwood asserted on Morning Joe: "I think that at the end of the day, John McCain has got sufficient credibility on that issue that people are not going to look at that and say, 'Oh, John McCain is confused' or 'John McCain's too old' or 'John McCain doesn't get it.' ... But he obviously can't do that too many times or he's got a problem." Harwood was not alone in misrepresenting or excusing McCain's false claim on MSNBC; several MSNBC reporters and anchors have ignored or excused McCain's false claim. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200011 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:01:40 EST MSNBC's Robach, Witt aired McCain ad attacking "Woodstock Concert Museum" earmark, but didn't note his missed vote http://mediamatters.org/items/200801170008 On MSNBC Live, Amy Robach and Alex Witt separately aired a campaign ad from Republican presidential candidate John McCain attacking Sen.
