Hillary Clinton is "the stereotypical bitch." Beck responded, in part, that "probably a better word was 'nag.' " http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300010 Fri, 30 May 2008 20:54:33 EST Media trot out gender stereotypes in discussion of Elizabeth Edwards' comments http://mediamatters.org/items/200707190001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707190001 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 20:04:35 EST Will media acknowledge they were too credulous in touting Rove's pre-election optimism? 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 Before midterms, media downplayed potential Dem gains in House and Senate, touting GOP's "formidable" and "stunning" get-out-the-vote campaign; will they revisit? http://mediamatters.org/items/200611090001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611090001 Wed, 8 Nov 2006 19:00:05 EST Shipman suggested Democratic-controlled Congress would result in "a culture of gridlock," misled on Democrats' tax position http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070017 On Good Morning America, Claire Shipman warned that "we're still likely, if the Democrats get the House, to see a culture of gridlock" because "[n]either side will have the 60 votes in the Senate they would need to really get things done." Shipman did not inform viewers of the number of issues on the GOP legislative agenda that went unaddressed in this congressional session. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070017 Tue, 7 Nov 2006 16:18:19 EST Media figures touted McCain's recent "straight talk" on Iraq, ignored his repeated inconsistency http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240007 In recent days, media figures have touted, as an example of his self-styled "straight talk," Sen. John McCain's August 22 criticism of the Bush administration's overly optimistic rhetoric on the war in Iraq. However, these media figures not only overlooked McCain's own optimistic forecasts as the war began in 2003; they also ignored his recent defense of the White House against criticism that President Bush has mischaracterized the situation on the ground there. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240007 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 17:17:33 EST Media outlets suggested Sen. Clinton's critique of Rumsfeld was motivated purely by politics http://mediamatters.org/items/200608060001 Several news outlets portrayed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's harsh criticism of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as a purely political maneuver to "find the exact middle" in the Democratic Party or to position herself for a potential 2008 presidential run. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608060001 Sun, 6 Aug 2006 11:50:45 EST ABC's Shipman on Gore: "[J]ust look at his face. I don't think any of us ... could take him at his word" http://mediamatters.org/items/200606040001 On This Week, ABC News' Claire Shipman said of former Vice President Al Gore, "[J]ust look at his face. I don't think any of us watching your interview could take him at his word." Host George Stephanopoulos, who had interviewed Gore earlier, asked Shipman whether journalists should "take [Gore] at [his] word" about his statement, "I have no plans to be a candidate for president again." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606040001 Sun, 4 Jun 2006 16:10:42 EST On ABC's This Week, Stephanopoulos and Shipman touted Snow's walk-in access, but Snow said predecessors had it, too http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010002 On ABC's This Week, ABC News' Claire Shipman credited incoming White House press secretary Tony Snow with having "managed to negotiate ... a seat at the decision-making table." Host George Stephanopoulos agreed, saying, "I talked to him at the end of the week. He insists that he's got walk-in privileges." However, Snow himself has said he will have the same access to President Bush as his predecessors. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010002 Mon, 1 May 2006 13:13:31 EST ABC's Shipman: "Probably one of the first things" Snow is going to do is change White House TV channels from Fox News http://mediamatters.org/items/200604270004 ABC News' Claire Shipman said that when Tony Snow takes over as White House press secretary in early May, "[p]robably one of the first things he's going to do" is tune White House televisions to outlets other than Fox News. She explained that he would likely do this "because he knows that this White House needs another point of view," but offered no other evidence to support her prediction. http://mediamatters.org/items/200604270004 Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:42:12 EST
