Hillary Clinton "might encounter difficulty connecting with southwest Virginians, who have been hit hard by plant closings," because "many people there blame the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993." But the <em>Post</em> did not note that Saunders has said a Hillary Clinton presidency would violate the Constitution and that he has vowed "to do everything I can to make sure" John Edwards does not endorse Clinton. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802070008 Thu, 7 Feb 2008 18:20:13 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802050009 <em>The Washington Post</em> and the<em> New York Post</em> both baselessly asserted that Sen. Hillary Clinton referred to an emotional moment before last month's New Hampshire primary when she said during a February 4 visit to the Yale Child Study Center, "I said I would not tear up." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802050009 Tue, 5 Feb 2008 17:05:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801130004 Articles in <em>Newsweek</em> and <em>The Washington Post</em> mischaracterized a remark by former President Bill Clinton, claiming that he appeared to dismiss Sen. Barack Obama's campaign as "the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen." In fact, Clinton was referring to Obama's statements about his position on the Iraq war; he was not talking about the Obama campaign as the "biggest fairy tale." Further, the <em>Newsweek</em> article, as well as a<em> New York Times</em> article and a <em>Washington Post</em> op-ed, all truncated a comment by Hillary Clinton on the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, omitting a portion of her remarks in which she referred to President John F. Kennedy. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801130004 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:49:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100006 Responding to an online commenter who said that a lot of women are "getting incredibly angry about the progressively dismissive way" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "gets treated by the [<em>New York Times</em> columnist Maureen] Dowds and [MSNBC host Chris] Matthews of the world," <em>The Washington Post</em>'s Anne E. Kornblut asserted, "I think there is something to that" and "certainly Chris Matthews has taken her on quite aggressively over the last few weeks." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100006 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:11:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711260005 In an entry on The Trail, titled "A Clinton Shift in Selling Health Plan," <em>The Washington Post</em>'s Anne Kornblut wrote, "When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) introduced her health care proposal, she emphasized its centrist nature: a business-friendly model that would allow consumers maximum choice," adding, "But ... Clinton honed in this weekend with a more traditionally liberal aspect of her plan: It would require all people to get health insurance, with a goal of achieving universal health care." In so doing, Kornblut suggested that Clinton's emphasis on the "universal" aspect of her health care plan is new, without offering any evidence to support that suggestion. In fact, when Clinton introduced her plan, she repeatedly referred to the fact that it is "universal" and "covers all Americans." And since introducing it, she has repeatedly stressed its focus on universal coverage. http://mediamatters.org/items/200711260005 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:54:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090012 <em>Washington Post</em> reporter Anne E. Kornblut claimed that during the October 30 Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton "seemed to contradict a directive from her husband [former President Bill Clinton], who in 2002 wrote a letter suggesting archivists consider correspondence between him and his wife for withholding." Kornblut did not note that, in fact, it was moderator Tim Russert who misrepresented Bill Clinton's 2002 letter by characterizing it as a "ban" on the release of the correspondence; the letter did not ask that such communications "not be made available" but, rather, as Kornblut reported, listed them as documents to be "considered for withholding." Further, Clinton adviser Bruce Lindsey has stated that "Bill Clinton has not asked that records related to communications with Senator Clinton be withheld." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090012 Fri, 9 Nov 2007 15:22:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710120007 Responding to a reader's question about an article she co-wrote, <em>The Washington Post</em>'s Anne E. Kornblut stated, "We asked Sen. [Hillary Rodham] Clinton what she would do, upon taking office, about special interrogation methods ... such as waterboarding or sexual humiliation. ... And her response was simply that she opposes torture, which of course is also the current policy." But according to a transcript of the interview, Clinton was not specifically asked about "waterboarding or sexual humiliation," and she did not refuse to say whether she would prohibit such measures. Indeed, she said that she would "draw a bright line and say 'No torture,' " and that she would "abide by the Geneva conventions, [and] abide by the laws we have passed." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710120007 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:31:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710110001 <em>The</em> <em>Washington Post</em>'s Anne E. Kornblut and Dan Balz reported that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was "vague about how she would handle special interrogation methods used by the CIA." Adding, "She said that while she does not condone torture, so much has been kept secret that she would not know unless elected what other extreme measures interrogators are using, and therefore could not say whether she would change or continue existing policies." But blogger Greg Sargent later reported that Kornblut and Balz omitted from their article Clinton's statement that "I think we have to draw a bright line and say 'No torture -- abide by the Geneva conventions, abide by the laws we have passed,' and then try to make sure we implement that." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710110001 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:14:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708230007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708230007 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:26:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300009 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:54:09 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:12:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010001 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 09:41:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701230011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701230011 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 18:42:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701220008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701220008 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 16:19:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701170004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701170004 Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:44:34 EST
