In fact, three Republicans voted with the Democrats to approve the subpoenas. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200706290003 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:14:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010012 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010012 Tue, 1 May 2007 19:46:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704040016 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704040016 Wed, 4 Apr 2007 19:49:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701110003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701110003 Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:16:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701030010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701030010 Wed, 3 Jan 2007 13:50:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611100005 Reporting on President Bush's announcement of Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, media outlets, with few exceptions, have avoided characterizing Bush's assertion the previous week that he wanted Rumsfeld to stay on as a "lie" or intentional misrepresentation -- this, despite Bush's own admission of a deliberate deception. Some outlets even failed to acknowledge Bush's previous statement that Rumsfeld would stay on as defense secretary until the end of his presidency. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200611100005 Thu, 9 Nov 2006 20:23:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611070010 Tue, 7 Nov 2006 13:15:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610180017 In her report on President Bush's signing of the controversial detainee bill, ABC's Martha Raddatz noted Sen. Russ Feingold's general opposition to the bill but gave no indication of Feingold's specific criticism -- that the bill "allows the government to seize individuals on American soil and detain them indefinitely with no opportunity to challenge their detention in court." Nightly news broadcasts on NBC and CBS devoted little attention to the bill's signing and ignored Democratic criticism of it altogether. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610180017 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:29:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609270012 Evening newscasts on ABC and NBC uncritically aired President Bush's nonsensical non-responses to questions about declassified portions of a National Intelligence Estimate; NBC and CBS presented misleading reports on the NIE's conclusions, both asserting that the declassified portion of the report at least in part backs up Bush. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609270012 Wed, 27 Sep 2006 17:14:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608220005 Various media outlets ignored President Bush's statement during an August 21 press conference that the United States will not withdraw its forces from Iraq as long as he is president. Those outlets simply reported that Bush pledged to keep U.S. forces in Iraq until "the mission is complete," and offered no indication that Bush pledged to keep troops there for the remainder of his term. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608220005 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 16:18:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180008 An ABC <em>World News</em> report on a federal district judge's ruling that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program is unconstitutional featured only Bush administration officials and a senior research fellow from the conservative Heritage Foundation defending the "necessity" of the program. The report did not note that the program's effectiveness has been called into question. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608180008 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 16:43:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608150008 In the wake of the recent thwarting of an alleged terrorist plot in Britain, numerous media outlets have posed the question of whether news of the event would benefit President Bush, often letting conservatives or Republican officials spin the news in favor of the administration. Many of the reports neglected to consider whether the news could actually hurt Bush politically. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608150008 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:23:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608130001 On ABC's <em>This Week</em>, Martha Raddatz argued that Democrats "don't want" to call for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq because "the lesson from Vietnam ... was you have to support the troops or there's tremendous backlash." This is not the first time the media have suggested that opposition to the Iraq war and support for U.S. troops are mutually exclusive positions. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608130001 Sun, 13 Aug 2006 13:45:34 EST
