However, Greenfield did not note that Defense Secretary Robert Gates reportedly stated that the United States should "sit down and talk with" Iran. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805160009 Fri, 16 May 2008 20:35:11 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705210001 In reporting on Rudy Giuliani's Republican debate performance, several media outlets uncritically repeated his attack on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, that "with regard to taxes," she "said ... that we have to take money from you in order to give it to the common good." But these outlets did not provide any context for Clinton's remarks, which she reportedly made at a fundraiser in front of an audience that consisted of people she described as "well enough off that ... the [Bush administration] tax cuts may have helped" them. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200705210001 Mon, 21 May 2007 12:10:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200612150011 Mary Matalin said discussion about Sen. Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein, is "really about nothing" and responded that co-host Alan Colmes should "get a sense of humor" after Colmes requested that Matalin ask her "conservative friends to drop the 'Hussein.' " CNN's Jeff Greenfield had similarly claimed that he was joking when he likened the style of Obama's clothing to that of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. http://mediamatters.org/items/200612150011 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 18:01:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180003 Thu, 17 Aug 2006 21:10:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603300007 Over the past year, CNN hosts, anchors, and reporters have repeatedly commented on the Democratic Party's purported lack of a clear plan or concrete set of alternatives on issues ranging from Social Security to the war in Iraq. When a large coalition of Democrats stood together on March 29 to unveil a unified national security platform, CNN largely ignored the news. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603300007 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 14:54:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602090007 Numerous media figures highlighted the alleged "partisan" nature of Coretta Scott King's funeral but failed to comment on the politicization of Ronald Reagan's funeral. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602090007 Thu, 9 Feb 2006 16:01:11 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602010011 CNN's Jeff Greenfield chided Rep. Robert Wexler for releasing a rebuttal of President Bush's State of the Union address without actually seeing the speech.

Alito Jr. In fact, <em>Media Matters</em> is "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media" and has not taken a position on whether Alito should be confirmed or on whether senators should filibuster his nomination. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601260011 Thu, 26 Jan 2006 18:31:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601110006 In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, CNN senior analyst Jeff Greenfield repeated a false claim by former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie that John Roberts "never said" that <em>Roe v. Wade</em> was "settled law" during his Supreme Court nomination hearings.
