When Carlson again discussed the <em>Times</em> story on <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em>, Kilmeade stated: "So, this is America bad?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200807180005 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:53:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Beginning on the afternoon of April 23, MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN aired a controversial ad by the North Carolina Republican Party attacking Sen. Barack Obama and two Democratic gubernatorial candidates at least 22 times combined, in most cases also noting that Sen. John McCain denounced the ad. As media figures on MSNBC and CNN pointed out, the repeated broadcasts benefit the North Carolina Republican Party, which does not have to pay for them, and they presumably benefit McCain, even as he is credited with taking the high road for criticizing the ad. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:13:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200712010001 On Fox News' <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em>, while discussing retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr's question during the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican debate, Dick Morris said, "You know, listen, let's put the blame where it's due. This is a dirty trick by the Hillary Clinton campaign." On <em>Fox &amp; Friends First</em>, R. Emmett Tyrrell replied, "I think so," when Steve Doocy asked, "So, are you saying that the Clintons had something to do with CNN doing a bad job vetting these questioners?" Tyrrell later stated that "the Clintons ... have played fast and loose with ethics since day one. This is a pattern." http://mediamatters.org/items/200712010001 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:16:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711290006 On<em> Fox &amp; Friends First</em>, Alisyn Camerota teased a report by stating, "Details on another alleged planted question by the Clinton camp at last night's [CNN/YouTube Republican] debate," referring to a questioner at the debate, retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, a member of committees associated with Hillary Clinton's campaign. During a discussion of Kerr's involvement in the debate, on-screen captions read: "HILLARY'S STAND-IN: CLINTON PLANTS STAFFER AT DEBATE" and "PLANT MEDIA: GOP YOUTUBE DEBATE." But several hours earlier -- unmentioned on <em>Fox &amp; Friends First</em> -- Fox News political field producer Jake Gibson reported online that Kerr told him that Kerr "was not contacted by the Clinton campaign to do this," had appeared at the debate without the prior knowledge of the campaign, and did not work for the Clinton campaign. Gibson added that Kerr's answer "seems genuine." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711290006 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:39:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709270002 In a discussion on MSNBC's <em>Morning Joe</em> of Bill O'Reilly's response to criticism of his controversial statement about dining at a Harlem restaurant, host Joe Scarborough noted, "I don't think that we're mischaracterizing it at all to say O'Reilly was surprised that a restaurant run by people of color was almost just like a normal restaurant." Scarborough also observed that "Fox has been coming up with some pretty, pretty crazy banners" describing the controversy that suggest "Bill O'Reilly has nothing to do with this at all. He didn't cause this at all." http://mediamatters.org/items/200709270002 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:46:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701300007 On January 17, InsightMag.com posted a story stating that Sen. Barack Obama attended a madrassa as a boy and that this information had originated from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp. With the aid of the conservative media, InsightMag.com's anonymously sourced report turned into 11 days of baseless accusations against two leading contenders for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200701300007 Tue, 30 Jan 2007 15:14:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701290001 According to an ABCNews.com report, Fox News vice president Bill Shine defended John Gibson's reporting on the discredited accusation that Sen. Barack Obama attended a madrassa in his youth. But a statement from Shine, as quoted by the ABCNews.com report, never addressed Gibson's charges that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was behind the smear. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200701290001 Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:49:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200612090004 Following a confrontation between Tony Snow and NBC's David Gregory, numerous conservative media figures attacked Gregory, calling him "angry," "partisan," "grouchy," and "ignorant," and claiming that he is "doing this for personal gain." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200612090004 Fri, 8 Dec 2006 20:21:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070004 On <em>Fox &amp; Friends First</em>, Kelly Wright suggested that Vice President Dick Cheney's decision to spend Election Day "in Wyoming," rather than on the campaign trail, could be a "sign" that Cheney "isn't worried or nervous at all about the outcome of tomorrow's election." Other anchors also uncritically stated that the reason Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist is not appearing with President Bush at a campaign rally is "so he can hit other cities." None of the anchors mentioned the fact that both have low approval ratings -- Cheney nationally and Bush in Florida. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070004 Mon, 6 Nov 2006 20:20:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609260002 Fox News dedicated its coverage of an interview of President Clinton by Chris Wallace to portraying Wallace as the victim, while depicting Clinton as having a "complete meltdown," an "angry explosion," a "volcanic reaction," and as going on a "tirade" during the interview. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609260002 Mon, 25 Sep 2006 22:19:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140001 During September 12 reports on ABC's controversial miniseries <em>The Path to 9/11</em>, not one Fox News anchor or correspondent examined the scenes from the film that contain documented falsehoods, explained <em>Fox News Live</em> co-host Bill Hemmer's reference to Democrats' "paranoia" about the film's depiction of former Clinton administration officials, or mentioned the fact that several prominent conservatives have also questioned the film's accuracy. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140001 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 12:36:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608010003 On <em>Fox &amp; Friends First</em>, Steve Doocy responded to a report by meteorologist Joe Bastardi about hot North American summers by suggesting, "It's just a great big cycle, it's not global warming." As <em>Media Matters for America</em> has documented, there is widespread consensus among scientists that global warming exists, and that humans are contributing to the problem. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608010003 Tue, 1 Aug 2006 12:31:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607130005 Fox News' Andrew P. Napolitano claimed that former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV "told <em>Who's Who in America</em> to put that his wife was a CIA operative." In fact, Wilson's entry in <em>Who's Who</em> mentioned his wife's name -- Valerie Elise Plame -- but not her occupation. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607130005 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 13:26:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230011 As the hosts of <em>Fox &amp; Friends First</em> discussed the recent arrest of a Kansas man who left his preschool-age son in his unlocked vehicle while he patronized a Tulsa strip club, the network aired more than a minute of uninterrupted stock footage of strip club performances. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230011 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 15:27:57 EST
