The goal of the mission in Iraq is to provide safety and security so we can have an ally in Iraq against the Islamic terrorists. And that was the mission that most of the Democrats agreed to in 2003." In fact, the Bush administration has frequently changed its "goal of the mission in Iraq," which at various times it has articulated as disarming Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, building democracy<strong>,</strong> and providing stability and security in the Middle East. http://mediamatters.org/items/200709140009 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 19:30:13 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707120001 After <em>Sicko</em> director Michael Moore said that CNN's <em>Sicko</em> fact-check "healthcare expert" Paul Keckley is "a person from a think tank group who is a big Republican contributor," CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta asserted that Keckley's "only affiliation" is with Vanderbilt University. Gupta continued, "We checked it, Michael. We checked his conflict of interest. We do ask those questions." In fact, as a caption accompanying Gupta's original report stated, Keckley is a "Deloitte Healthcare Expert." http://mediamatters.org/items/200707120001 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 20:03:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705070003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705070003 Mon, 7 May 2007 13:36:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702150010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702150010 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:34:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611080009 Media figures have attributed Democratic gains in the House and Senate in the midterm elections to the number of wins by conservative or moderate Democratic challengers and have suggested that because the party's victory in the House was purportedly "built on the back of more centrist candidates," the incoming Democratic majority will be sharply divided. However, a <em>Media Matters for America</em> survey of the policy positions of 27 victorious House candidates found that they all agree on a core set of issues, including raising the minimum wage and protecting Social Security. http://mediamatters.org/items/200611080009 Wed, 8 Nov 2006 15:52:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310015 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310015 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 15:39:48 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/200606130013 On CNN's <em>Larry King Live</em>, right-wing activist and author David Horowitz again defended right-wing pundit Ann Coulter's recent attacks against widows of victims from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, declaring that "Ann has done us a service." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606130013 Tue, 13 Jun 2006 19:30:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605230009 While discussing immigration on CNN's <em>Larry King Live</em>, a group of the cable channel's political reporters and contributors, which host Larry King called "the best political team on television," touted President Bush's support for the bipartisan Senate bill that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and suggested falsely that his position on immigration has been consistent. In fact, before Bush came out in support of the Senate bill, he had praised a competing House bill and, according to the House bill's author, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, pushed for the inclusion of some of its most controversial provisions, including one making it a felony to be in the United States illegally and another making it a felony to provide assistance to illegal immigrants. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605230009 Tue, 23 May 2006 16:28:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601200005 Several television and radio commentators have either hosted debates or openly questioned what they claim are the insidiously progressive goals of the award-winning film <em>Brokeback Mountain</em>, yet many of the same commentators openly admit they have not seen it. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601200005 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 12:10:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601190001 During a discussion about the implications of "the buzz around" the film <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> on CNN's <em>Larry King Live</em>, radio host Janet Parshall referred to the adoption of children by same-sex couples as "state-sanctioned child abuse," and implied that the "lifestyle" of Matthew Shepard, a gay man, was partly to blame for his 1998 murder. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601190001 Wed, 18 Jan 2006 19:13:29 EST
