Joe Biden, saying they were "the focus of the media's racial-insensitivity microscope." But less than two days earlier, <em>Times</em> editorial page editor Tony Blankley had asserted that Biden was "getting, more or less, a pass from the mainstream media" on his comments. http://mediamatters.org/items/200702020010 Fri, 2 Feb 2007 14:58:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702020009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702020009 Fri, 2 Feb 2007 14:55:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702020004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702020004 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 20:16:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010004 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 14:42:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190013 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190013 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:09:28 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701130003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701130003 Fri, 12 Jan 2007 20:38:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200612120005 Discussing Sen. Gordon Smith's December 7 Senate floor statement denouncing the war in Iraq, neither ABC's George Stephanopoulos nor CNN's Wolf Blitzer challenged Smith on the timing of his statement, when it had become clear long before that no weapons of mass destruction would be found in Iraq and that the function of coalition troops had become essentially that of, in Smith's words to Blitzer, "street cops in a sectarian civil war." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200612120005 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 11:16:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611180003 While discussing Sen. John McCain's potential presidential candidacy, CNN's Wolf Blitzer ignored McCain's inconsistencies on taxes and abortion and essentially contradicted himself about McCain's position on Iraq. Blitzer also noted the names and experience of other political figures with presidential exploratory or campaign committees but did not describe their positions on any issues. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200611180003 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 19:34:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020002 CNN's <em>Your World Today</em> devoted 16 minutes to live coverage of a press briefing by Tony Snow, which focused on the controversy over Sen. John Kerry's recent remark about Iraq. When questions turned to President Bush's Iraq policy, however, CNN cut away from live coverage after two minutes. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020002 Wed, 1 Nov 2006 19:12:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610250015 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610250015 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 17:07:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610100011 In a weblog post, ABC News' Jake Tapper reported that two Republican senators told Sen. Joseph Biden that they plan to "break with the White House Iraq strategy," but only after the midterm elections. Only three other media outlets have reported the disclosure. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610100011 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 15:55:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606220012 MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell accepted as true Sen. John McCain's false assertion that he "refuse[s] to use" the words "cut and run" to describe plans to redeploy U.S. forces out of Iraq. In fact, McCain has repeatedly used those words to describe such plans, and to attack Democrats who support them. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606220012 Thu, 22 Jun 2006 19:16:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606210007 CNN's Paula Zahn told Sen. Joe Biden that the Democratic Party is "getting creamed as the party of cut-and-runners, the wobbly, the weak," adding: "[D]o you understand why that divisiveness compromises the credibility of your party?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200606210007 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 19:34:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606080010 On the <em>Focus on the Family</em> radio show, FOF CEO James Dobson and president Jim Daly lambasted opponents of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, comparing the amendment to civil rights legislation and the abolitionists' campaign to end slavery, and predicting that if it failed, "civilization will go down." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606080010 Thu, 8 Jun 2006 18:26:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606050006 On NBC's <em>Meet the Press</em>, host Tim Russert, during an interview with Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE), asked Biden if same-sex marriage was one of the issues "that the Republicans used successfully to demonstrate that the Democrats were out of sync on cultural -- and values." But leading up to the 2004 election, polls found that the public was split equally on which party better represented their values, and more recent polling indicates that more people think Democrats better represent their values than do Republicans. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606050006 Mon, 5 Jun 2006 16:06:39 EST
