<title>Media furthered false claim that Democrats have &#x22;no plan&#x22; for national security</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200609050003</link>
<description>Several media figures and news outlets have uncritically repeated or lent credence to the false Republican talking point that Democrats, for all their criticism of the Bush administration&#x27;s Iraq war policy, have no plan of their own to deal with Iraq, terrorism, and national security in general. In fact, Democrats have offered several plans for addressing various issues related to U.S. involvement in Iraq and national security.</description>

<title>Fox News hosts go off-message in hyping N. Korea missile tests</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200607070001</link>
<description>Though White House press secretary Tony Snow criticized &#x22;attempts to try to describe&#x22; North Korea&#x27;s recent missile tests &#x22;in breathless World War III terms,&#x22; Fox News hosts, analysts, and guests repeatedly suggested using force to prevent North Korea from conducting further missile tests and acquiring more nuclear weapons-grade material, with one military analyst even advocating the &#x22;nuclear&#x22; option.</description>

<title>Fox pundits: Dems&#x27; culture of corruption campaign defunct with DeLay departure</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200604050012</link>
<description>On Fox News, numerous media figures asserted that Rep. Tom DeLay&#x27;s (R-TX) decision to resign from Congress will hurt Democrats&#x27; ability to campaign against congressional Republicans&#x27; record of corruption -- and DeLay&#x27;s part in it -- during the November 2006 midterm elections. But such predictions overlook the widening ethics scandals involving DeLay and the Republican Party.</description>

<title>Fox&#x27;s Kasich falsely claimed that where the Boss went, Kerry lost</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200604050010</link>
<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;O&#x27;Reilly Factor&#x3C;/em&#x3E; guest host and former Rep. John Kasich (R-OH) falsely claimed that 2004 presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA) lost &#x22;every place that Bruce [Springsteen] went,&#x22; referring to the Vote for Change tour and Kerry rally concerts leading up to the election. In fact, Springsteen performed in a total of six states, four of which -- Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin -- Kerry carried in the election, as well as the District of Columbia, where Springsteen also performed.</description>

<title>Kasich: McCain made &#x22;smart move&#x22; by embracing Falwell, who isn&#x27;t &#x22;some sort of extremist&#x22;</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200604040003</link>
<description>Substituting for host Bill O&#x27;Reilly on Fox News&#x27; &#x3C;em&#x3E;The O&#x27;Reilly Factor&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, John Kasich said that Sen. John McCain made a &#x22;smart move&#x22; by seemingly embracing Rev. Jerry Falwell -- whom McCain had called an &#x22;agent of intolerance&#x22; six years earlier -- in advance of the 2008 presidential election.</description>
