John McCain's campaign used a corporate jet owned by his wife's company over a seven-month period beginning in the summer of 2007, several members of the media asserted earlier this year that McCain flew coach when the campaign was low on funds. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280006 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:59:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801130004 Articles in <em>Newsweek</em> and <em>The Washington Post</em> mischaracterized a remark by former President Bill Clinton, claiming that he appeared to dismiss Sen. Barack Obama's campaign as "the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen." In fact, Clinton was referring to Obama's statements about his position on the Iraq war; he was not talking about the Obama campaign as the "biggest fairy tale." Further, the <em>Newsweek</em> article, as well as a<em> New York Times</em> article and a <em>Washington Post</em> op-ed, all truncated a comment by Hillary Clinton on the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, omitting a portion of her remarks in which she referred to President John F. Kennedy. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801130004 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:49:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704230011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704230011 Mon, 23 Apr 2007 18:53:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060012 Without noting the flaws critics have cited in Rudy Giuliani's supervision of the post-9-11 cleanup, <em>Newsweek</em>, in its cover story on the former mayor, baselessly suggested that "[i]t is hard to imagine" Giuliani "botching the response to Katrina in the way President Bush did." Similarly, on MSNBC, the magazine's managing editor, Jon Meacham, echoed the article, saying, "[I]t's almost impossible to imagine a President Giuliani botching something like Katrina." http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060012 Tue, 6 Mar 2007 15:41:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604210002 On <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, <em>Newsweek</em> managing editor Jon Meacham echoed Bill O'Reilly's previous assertion that secular forces have declared "war" on the Christian observances of Christmas and Easter. But on CNBC's <em>Tim Russert</em>, Meacham apparently backtracked, stating that he found it "hard[] to understand" the complaints of those who say that "[t]here's a war on Christianity in this country." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604210002 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 11:08:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604120007 Appearing on Fox News' <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, <em>Newsweek</em> managing editor Jon Meacham agreed that the founding fathers would have disapproved of -- as host Bill O'Reilly termed it -- the ACLU's opposition to the "Pledge of Allegiance ... God, Christmas icons." Further, Meacham did not dispute O'Reilly's characterization of the ACLU as engaged in a "jihad ... against Judeo-Christian tradition in this country." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604120007 Wed, 12 Apr 2006 15:33:18 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602010004 During MSNBC's coverage of the Democratic response to the State of the Union address, <em>Newsweek</em>'s Jon Meacham referred to the Democratic base as "the people who have an almost irrational hatred of George W. Bush in the way the hard right in the Republican Party had an irrational hatred of Bill Clinton." He added: "I mean some things never change." http://mediamatters.org/items/200602010004 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 10:39:21 EST
