Or better yet, with the joke books." Dershowitz also noted comments O'Reilly has made on his nationally syndicated radio show that <em>Media Matters for America</em> has highlighted, including O'Reilly's 2005 comments about calling on the FBI to arrest the "clowns" at Air America Radio; his on-air description of his trip to Sylvia's restaurant; and his comments about the media and Phil Spector. http://mediamatters.org/items/200712110004 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 13:13:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711200010 A web advertisement placed on National Review Online for Charlie Savage's book, <em>Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy</em>, asked: "Hillary Clinton: the most powerful president in American history... Will this be the surprise legacy of the Bush-Cheney years?" But Savage has not alleged -- either in the book or during discussions of it -- that Clinton, if elected, would use presidential powers expanded as a result of the precedents established under the Bush administration or attempt to expand presidential power even further. http://mediamatters.org/items/200711200010 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:40:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150012 In a column discussing Kathleen Willey's new book, Joseph Farah -- founder and editor of the right-wing news website WorldNetDaily -- asserted: "Many of us who crossed the Clintons -- whether it was because of what we wrote or whether it was because we didn't yield to unwanted sexual attacks -- feared for our lives as a result of winding up on their 'enemies list.' " He also claimed that "there were real-world consequences to being on the Clintons' enemies list," such as "losing jobs," "threats and harassment," "invasion of privacy," "break-ins and dead pets and flat tires," and "audits from the Internal Revenue Service." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150012 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:49:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711070001 In her new book, Kathleen Willey rehashes conspiracy theories regarding Vince Foster's 1993 suicide and suggests possible parallels between Foster's death and the suicide of her husband, a Clinton fundraiser, as well as the reported suicide attempt of Norman Hsu. In fact, numerous investigations have determined that Foster's death was a suicide. Also, independent counsel Robert Ray found that Willey had given conflicting and false information related to her allegations against President Bill Clinton. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711070001 Tue, 6 Nov 2007 20:07:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710160013 <em>The Hill</em> uncritically reported Jeff Gerth's claim that Sen. Hillary Clinton's "campaign has not disputed any facts reported in the final version of his book," <em>Her Way</em>, adding: "There hasn't been one fact in the book that's been challenged." However, Clinton's presidential campaign has taken issue with the book's claim that, as far back as 1993, the Clintons "planned two terms in the White House for Bill and, later, two for Hillary." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710160013 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:50:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020015 Contrary to the assertion by <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> co-host Steve Doocy that NBC's <em>Today</em> "booked" Ann Coulter "to talk about her book, and they didn't talk about her book," <em>Today</em> host Meredith Vieira noted in her introduction of Coulter that she has a new book out, the book appeared on-screen at the beginning and end of the interview, and Vieira did bring it up during the interview. The <em>Today</em> appearance marks at least Coulter's 195th appearance on an NBC-operated channel. http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020015 Tue, 2 Oct 2007 19:40:31 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707160004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707160004 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:25:28 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090006 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 19:33:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080007 Sun, 8 Jul 2007 15:18:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707050006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707050006 Thu, 5 Jul 2007 16:43:09 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706220010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706220010 Fri, 22 Jun 2007 17:58:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706190005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706190005 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 13:27:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706160003 <em>Her Way</em> co-author Don Van Natta Jr. claimed that, in writing the book, he and Jeff Gerth "were able to interview 500 people, many of them on the record -- most of them on the record." In fact, a <em>Media Matters</em> review counted 101 distinct named interviewees in the book's endnotes. Of the 873 citations to interviews, 309 were to interviews of named sources, while 564 were to interviews of anonymous sources. http://mediamatters.org/items/200706160003 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 23:55:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120005 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 16:19:35 EST
