John McCain "is the rare exception who is not assumed to be willing to sacrifice personal credibility to prevail in any contest," while Sen. Hillary Clinton "ha[s] added to her reputation for opportunism" with "[t]he negative attacks she has launched against [Sen. Barack] Obama." It was the second time this week that a <em>Post</em> columnist has explicitly contrasted McCain's and Clinton's credibility and perceived integrity, suggesting that the former is motivated by principle, and the latter, by a desire to win, ignoring McCain's numerous falsehoods committed during his presidential campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804250007 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:07:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803300003 <em>The New York Times</em>' David Brooks asserted that Sen. John McCain's March 26 foreign policy speech "was so important because he broke with Bush on several ways" and described one of those ways as, "Should the U.S. go it alone on certain issues? He said no, we are -- we need a strong America, but in the community of nations. And he detailed that." Similarly,<em> The Washington Post</em>'s David Broder wrote that McCain "outlin[ed] a vastly different approach from President Bush's" in the speech, in part by offering a "repudiation of unilateralism." Yet neither Brooks nor Broder accounted for any of the statements McCain made during the run-up to the Iraq war about France, Germany, and Belgium, which revealed a very different attitude to U.S. allies. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803300003 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:03:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150006 In his <em>Washington Post</em> column, discussing "the prospect of a dual presidency" -- if former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton return to the White House -- David Broder wrote that "the country must decide whether it is comfortable with such a sharing of the power and authority of the highest office in the land," adding that this is a "difficult question" that "lingers, even if unasked." But neither Clinton has said that a new Clinton White House would operate as "a dual presidency." Moreover, a recent <em>Washington Post</em>/ABC News poll found that 60 percent of respondents said they "personally feel comfortable ... with the idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House, this time as first husband," in contrast with the 30 percent who said they feel "uncomfortable." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150006 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:35:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709160002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709160002 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 15:07:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708230009 <em>Washington</em><em> Post </em>columnist David Broder asserted that "[Karl] Rove had drunk deeply of the magic potion dispensed by Lee Atwater, the South Carolina whiz who had absorbed the anger and frustration of the white Southern blue-collar families with whom he was raised." But Broder did not mention Atwater's repeated attempts to play on white voters' sentiments about race. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708230009 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:54:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706140004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706140004 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:41:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120003 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 13:01:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706070004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706070004 Thu, 7 Jun 2007 15:01:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705210008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705210008 Mon, 21 May 2007 18:29:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705180013 In an online chat, David Broder responded to a question asking why "two out of three major networks have decided not to cover" James Comey's testimony about Alberto Gonzales attempting to pressure then-Attorney General John Ashcroft to reauthorize the administration's wiretapping program by claiming that "the coverage of the firing of the US attorneys has been aggressive and extensive, as it should be." http://mediamatters.org/items/200705180013 Fri, 18 May 2007 18:41:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705170008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705170008 Thu, 17 May 2007 17:28:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705070006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705070006 Mon, 7 May 2007 17:06:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300008 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:37:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300006 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:22:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704260009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704260009 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:31:46 EST
