John McCain's "carefully scripted imagery was interrupted by a voter's question about Pastor John Hagee," CNN's Dana Bash aired a clip of Hagee -- who has endorsed McCain -- saying of Hurricane Katrina, "What happened in New Orleans looked like the curse of God." But Bash did not air the portion of Hagee's comments in which he reaffirmed his previous assertion that Hurricane Katrina was at least in part the result of "sin" that Hagee identified as "a massive homosexual rally." CNN's John Roberts and Kyra Phillips similarly noted that Hagee said that "Katrina was God's punishment for sinful behavior in New Orleans" without mentioning that among the "sinful behavior" Hagee referenced was the gay pride parade. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280010 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:44:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100011 In CNN State Department correspondent Zain Verjee's report about Kenyans' reaction to the New Hampshire Democratic primary and its impact on the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama, CNN aired a video clip in which an unidentified man "on the streets of" Kenya said: "[T]here are some people who say they don't want him [Obama] because ... they don't want someone who is closer to Islamic." But Verjee never noted that Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100011 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:10:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707200015 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707200015 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:45:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020016 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020016 Thu, 2 Nov 2006 18:08:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210003 Many television news outlets touted a <em>USA Today</em>/Gallup poll putting President Bush's job approval rating at 44 percent as a success for Bush, asserting that his rating is "the highest it's been in a year." But four days earlier, the same news organizations ignored a Pew Research Center poll showing Bush's approval rating at 37 percent. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210003 Wed, 20 Sep 2006 21:26:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240002 CNN's Kyra Phillips allowed Katrina survivor Rockey Vaccarella to repeatedly praise or deflect blame from President Bush over his handling of Hurricane Katrina, yet failed to note that Vaccarella once ran for local office as a Republican. Phillips also failed to challenge Vaccarella's various attempts to excuse the federal government's slow response. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240002 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 20:13:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607270001 With Kyra Phillips's discussion of the Apocalypse and the Middle East conflict with Christian authors Jerry Jenkins and Joel C.

Government Accountability Office reports indicate that the system has no proven ability to shoot down a hostile missile. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606260002 Mon, 26 Jun 2006 13:49:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602150015 On CNN's <em>Live From...</em>, anchor Kyra Phillips and White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux reported that, in an interview conducted with Fox News that day, Vice President Dick Cheney accepted full responsibility for accidentally shooting Texas attorney Harry Whittington during a February 11 hunting expedition. However, both Phillips and Malveaux failed to note that Cheney reportedly has been telling friends privately that Whittington was at fault and that Katharine Armstrong, whom he had designated to report the incident to the media, blamed Whittington for the accident. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602150015 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 18:54:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602020011 CNN's Kyra Phillips characterized Cindy Sheehan as an "anti-war activist" while casting Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young (R-FL), as a "staunch advocate for the troops." Both women were removed from the visitor's gallery of the House of Representatives prior to the start of President Bush's State of the Union address for wearing T-shirts with political messages. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602020011 Thu, 2 Feb 2006 17:22:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601200014 CNN anchor Kyra Phillips misstated a false assertion made by <em>Washington Post</em> ombudsman Deborah Howell regarding Democrats and indicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Phillips reported that Howell "wrote that ... Jack Abramoff gave money to Democrats as well as Republicans." Phillips then said: "Well that's true, though most of the money went to Republicans." In fact, Abramoff made no contribution to Democrats. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601200014 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:21:07 EST
