John McCain was "maintaining the endorsement" of controversial televangelist John Hagee. NPR's Cokie Roberts asserted: "Well, he says that it was a mistake to seek and accept the endorsement. So I -- what does that mean? I don't know if that means that he has -- maintains it or not." In fact, when asked if he "no longer want[ed]" Hagee's endorsement, McCain stated: "I'm glad to have his endorsement." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804210002 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:10:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804070009 On ABC's <em>This Week</em>, while discussing the latest <em>New York Times</em>/CBS News poll, Cokie Roberts asserted that Sen. John McCain is "even or winning in the polls." On <em>MSNBC Live</em>, Reuters' Jon Decker similarly stated that McCain is "running either ahead of both" Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama "or running even with both of them." But neither Roberts nor Decker mentioned that in that same poll, both Clinton and Obama beat McCain in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804070009 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 18:26:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709100005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709100005 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:39:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260010 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 18:54:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701080003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701080003 Mon, 8 Jan 2007 14:36:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608140005 In the wake of Ned Lamont's victory over Sen. Joe Lieberman and the news that British authorities had arrested several suspects in the foiled British terror plot, a number of media figures have linked the Iraq war with the effort to combat terrorism -- echoing the Republican talking point that Iraq is the "central front" in the fight against terrorism. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608140005 Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:50:23 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608060002 On ABC's <em>This Week</em>, Cokie Roberts asserted that it would be "a disaster for the Democratic Party" and would lead to "chaos" if businessman Ned Lamont were to defeat Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic Senate primary on August 8, thereby "pushing the party to the left" and sending a message to other senators that "[t]he only smart thing to do here is play to your base." However, as Sam Donaldson noted, opposition to the war is not simply playing to the base, "it's playing to the country," since the majority of the American public opposes the war in Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608060002 Sun, 6 Aug 2006 15:12:33 EST
