Barack Obama "lied to" the American Israel Public Affairs Committee when he "told them today that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards should be designated a terrorist group after voting against a bill designating them a terrorist group a year ago." Similarly, Fox News' Martha MacCallum asserted that Obama "seems to be changing his tune on the significant issue." In fact, Obama has consistently supported designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, having co-sponsored a bill in 2007 to do that. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060008 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 19:59:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310017 Fox News' Steve Doocy asserted that Sen. John McCain "has not really talked much about his time in the Hanoi Hilton for five years, and what happened to him, and they are including some of that archival stuff in a [campaign] video. And now, Howard Dean says that that is 'blatant opportunism.' " In fact, Dean said: "John McCain can try to reintroduce himself to the country, but he can't change the fact that he cast aside his principles to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Bush for the last seven years. While we honor McCain's military service, the fact is Americans want a real leader who offers real solutions, not a blatant opportunist who doesn't understand the economy and is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310017 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:46:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310015 On Fox News' <em>The Live Desk</em>, Martha MacCallum, discussing with correspondent Major Garrett a report about Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, stated that Williams "sat on the board of one of the nation's once-largest and now bankrupt mortgage lenders, Delta Financial." However, neither Garrett nor MacCallum mentioned Sen. John McCain's reported ties to the mortgage industry. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310015 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:18:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140010 Fox News host Martha MacCallum and MSNBC host Monica Novotny repeated the false assertion that if Congress does not reauthorize the Protect America Act (PAA), the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 would expire. In fact, what is set to expire are the PAA's revisions to FISA, which, among other things, expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140010 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:33:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801070007 On Fox News' <em>The Live Desk</em>, Republican strategist Christine O'Donnell responded to host Martha MacCallum's question about whether Republicans would prefer to run against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama by asserting, "I would prefer Barack Obama because he is so liberal, that -- he's anti-American." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801070007 Mon, 7 Jan 2008 18:14:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706060006 On <em>The Live Desk</em>, Fox News showed footage of Rep. John Conyers while Brian Wilson reported on the expected indictment of Rep. William Jefferson. This is not the first time Fox News has shown footage of one African-American elected official while discussing another -- in the previous case, airing footage of Harold Ford Jr. while talking about Sen. Barack Obama. http://mediamatters.org/items/200706060006 Wed, 6 Jun 2007 14:20:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704090011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704090011 Mon, 9 Apr 2007 18:22:23 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070018 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070018 Tue, 7 Nov 2006 16:43:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609260001 In the Fox News premiere of her new show, <em>The Live Desk</em>, host Martha MacCallum advanced several falsehoods regarding the respective anti-terrorism efforts of Presidents Clinton and Bush, while discussing Chris Wallace's recent interview with Clinton. MacCallum falsely claimed that Richard Clarke was demoted by the Bush administration after 9-11 and that the Clinton administration abandoned opportunities to take out Osama bin Laden, despite having him "in their scope." http://mediamatters.org/items/200609260001 Mon, 25 Sep 2006 21:13:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140001 During September 12 reports on ABC's controversial miniseries <em>The Path to 9/11</em>, not one Fox News anchor or correspondent examined the scenes from the film that contain documented falsehoods, explained <em>Fox News Live</em> co-host Bill Hemmer's reference to Democrats' "paranoia" about the film's depiction of former Clinton administration officials, or mentioned the fact that several prominent conservatives have also questioned the film's accuracy. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140001 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 12:36:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180003 On April 17, numerous news outlets -- including NBC, CBS, NPR, and Fox News -- covering former Illinois governor George Ryan's conviction on corruption charges failed to mention that he is a Republican. <em>Time</em> magazine went a step further, omitting Ryan's Republican affiliation while reporting that "the current administration of Democrat Rod Blagojevich is also being investigated." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180003 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 14:13:15 EST
