John McCain, "That large squadron in the Air -- in the Navy that he commanded, it wasn't a wartime squadron. He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall," after which Clark was immediately shown saying: "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president." But CNN edited out the portion of the exchange indicating that, in making the latter statement, Clark was responding to host Bob Schieffer's statement that, unlike McCain, Sen. Barack Obama has not "ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806300004 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:02:22 EST CNN allowed Romney to "plug[]" McCain's "credentials on fiscal issues" without noting Romney's own previous attacks http://mediamatters.org/items/200804160006 Reports on CNN's American Morning and its Political Ticker blog quoted former Gov. Mitt Romney praising Sen. John McCain's "credentials on fiscal issues," but neither report noted that "questioning McCain's economic credentials was the centerpiece" of Romney's campaign during the Republican presidential primary in Florida. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804160006 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:30:25 EST Chetry falsely claimed Franken said Rove and Libby "should be executed for treason" -- then denied having claimed it http://mediamatters.org/items/200803170003 Interviewing Al Franken on CNN's American Morning, Kiran Chetry falsely claimed that Al Franken, in a 2005 appearance on David Letterman's show, "said some things about Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, saying they should be executed for treason." In fact, as Franken noted, he had said that "George H.W. Bush, the president's father, was the head of the CIA, and he has said that outing a CIA agent is treason. ... And so, basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed." Chetry then denied having said that Franken "advocated" executing Rove and Libby. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803170003 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:38:07 EST CNN programs uncritically promoted Beck's global warming special http://mediamatters.org/items/200705040007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705040007 Fri, 4 May 2007 18:29:09 EST CNN host channeled Beck on global warming: "[T]he cause and how we can help is something that is up for debate" http://mediamatters.org/items/200705030004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705030004 Thu, 3 May 2007 14:03:21 EST
