In addition to the committee's Democrats, Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel and Olympia Snowe endorsed the report and stated that it "accomplished its primary objective." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060002 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 13:47:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804180008 Ed Henry and Jessica Yellin joined the growing list of CNN anchors and reporters who have embraced the lexicon of social conservatives, characterizing Christian conservative voters as "values voters" and equating an opposition to abortion rights with "family values." Henry suggested that support for reproductive choice is not a "family value" and that being pro-choice is inconsistent with being "pro-family," while Yellin suggested that those who are not "white evangelical voters" vote on something other than values. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804180008 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:12:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802040002 Reporting on a speech by President Bush, CNN's Ed Henry asserted: "The president touted the fact that more than 20,000 U.S. troops will be coming home from Iraq by July." However, Henry made no mention of his reporting for CNN in September 2007, when he noted Bush's attempt to "get some political credit for bringing these troops home" and said: "[I]t's important to stress, as you know, that military officials have already suggested that they're stretched and these surge troops would have to come home by next spring -- next summer anyway." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802040002 Mon, 4 Feb 2008 13:30:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200712040002 On CNN, Ed Henry reported that "Democrats ... like Congressman John Murtha ... are now saying that the surge is working," and suggested that, as a result of such comments, it "is going to be more and more difficult for Democrats" to argue that President Bush should sign a war funding bill that includes a provision for troop redeployment. But Murtha, who voted in favor of the bill, actually said, "I think the surge is working, I think -- but that's only one element. ... [T]he thing that has to happen, the Iraqis have to do this themselves." In a subsequent statement, Murtha added: "The fact remains that the war in Iraq cannot be won militarily, and that we must begin an orderly redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq as soon as practicable." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200712040002 Tue, 4 Dec 2007 11:55:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710290002 CNN's Ed Henry uncritically reported that "local Republicans hammered the point that, unlike in Louisiana, California officials only relied on the feds for the secondary help," quoting Republican Rep. Brian Bilbray as saying, "I think that's how the system's actually designed, and it's worked great." But the House Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina found that Katrina was not a "normal" disaster, but a "catastrophic" one; thus, federal officials should have "clearly and forcefully instruct[ed] everyone involved with the federal response to be proactive, anticipate future requirements, develop plans to fulfill them, and execute those plans without waiting for formal requests from overwhelmed state and local response officials." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710290002 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:12:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710040004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710040004 Thu, 4 Oct 2007 12:32:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708290011 In airing President Bush's assertion that "[s]ectarian violence has sharply decreased in Baghdad. The momentum is now on our side," CNN's Ed Henry gave no indication that he attempted to verify Bush's assertion. By contrast, recent articles by the Associated Press and McClatchy Newspapers have challenged claims about decreases in violence in Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708290011 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:29:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090003 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 18:09:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707020006 While reporting on the split between President Bush and his own party on the issues of immigration reform and the Iraq war, CNN's Ed Henry contrasted those disputes with "the subpoena issue," saying that the subpoenas issued by the Senate Judiciary Committee to the White House for information on the warrantless wiretapping program is "not really about ... [Bush's] own party," it's "about the Democrats." In fact, several committee Republicans voted in favor of the subpoenas. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200707020006 Mon, 2 Jul 2007 17:48:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705240005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705240005 Thu, 24 May 2007 15:13:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170010 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:07:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704130002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704130002 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:31:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703300006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703300006 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:45:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260004 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:17:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230010 Several media outlets reporting on the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote to authorize subpoenas of senior White House officials to force on-the-record testimony in the U.S. attorney investigation suggested that the vote fell along partisan lines. In fact, Sen. Charles Grassley, a Republican, went on record with an "aye" vote in favor of subpoenas. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230010 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:51:54 EST
