<description>Media outlets continue to report that Sen. Joe Biden was accused in 1987 of plagiarizing then-British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock without noting that while Biden did paraphrase from a Kinnock speech without attribution on at least two occasions in August 1987, he had reportedly credited Kinnock when previously using the same language.</description>

<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;Des Moines Register&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, AP left out McCain reversals in reporting on his immigration position  </title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200803060013</link>
<description>The &#x3C;em&#x3E;Des Moines Register&#x3C;/em&#x3E; asserted that Sen. John McCain is a &#x22;supporter of comprehensive immigration reform&#x22; without noting that he now says he would not support his bill if it came up for a vote in the Senate, and that he has reversed himself on a key issue. Similarly, the Associated Press reported that &#x22;[t]he three leading candidates for president have somewhat similar views on illegal immigration reform,&#x22; but did not note McCain&#x27;s reversals.  </description>

<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;Des  Moines Register &#x3C;/em&#x3E;reported  on Romney&#x27;s &#x22;defen[se]&#x22; of wiretaps on &#x22;suspected terrorists&#x22; without mentioning  central issue  </title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200712210002</link>
<description>A&#x3C;em&#x3E; Des Moines Register &#x3C;/em&#x3E;article  reported that Mitt Romney &#x22;defended the Bush administration&#x27;s use of wiretaps to  spy on suspected terrorists,&#x22; quoting Romney asserting that President Bush &#x22;has  done what was necessary here with the Patriot Act, as well as by listening in  when al-Qaida was calling.&#x22; But the article simply ignored the central issue in  the debate: whether the government should have to obtain warrants to eavesdrop  on communications involving people in the United  States.  </description>

<title>Overlooking shifts and flip-flops, &#x3C;em&#x3E;Des Moines Register&#x3C;/em&#x3E; endorsed McCain for &#x22;st[icking] to his beliefs&#x22;  on tax cuts and immigration</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200712180003</link>
<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;The  Des Moines Register&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x27;s endorsement of Sen. John McCain praised him for &#x22;taking stands based on principle, not party  dogma,&#x22; citing his  positions on immigration reform and President Bush&#x27;s tax cuts, among others. However, as noted in several  reports, McCain has  shifted his position on  immigration reform and  actually reversed his  position on the tax  cuts.</description>
