They disagree, however, on whether reducing taxes produces enough economic stimulus to pay for itself -- a doctrine called 'supply-side economics' -- or creates worrisome federal budget deficits. [Sen. John] McCain listens to tax-cutters on both sides." In fact, McCain has at least twice asserted as fact that tax cuts increase government revenues or that "most economists" believe that they do, only to subsequently have his campaign release statements backing off those claims. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804020005 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 17:01:46 EST Media failed to resolve question of which members of Congress Freedom's Watch ads are targeting http://mediamatters.org/items/200708240012 In reports on a recent advertisement buy by Freedom's Watch in support of the Iraq war, media reports have failed to resolve the question of which members of Congress the ad buys are targeting, despite the apparent newsworthiness of the issue. For instance, The Washington Post suggested that the ad campaign is an attack on Democrats, a suggestion repeated by Time's Karen Tumulty; other reports have not even mentioned the issue; while still others have asserted that the ads target both Democrats and Republicans. However, according to analyses by war opponents, the buys target mainly Republicans, a charge Freedom's Watch called "propaganda by our enemies." http://mediamatters.org/items/200708240012 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 19:51:36 EST CNN's Crowley called Thompson speech -- in which he decried illegal immigrants originally from Cuba -- "Reaganesque" http://mediamatters.org/items/200706290004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706290004 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:35:03 EST McClatchy article recycled weekly's claims against Feinstein without noting inaccuracy in report http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170008 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 15:29:56 EST Print outlets reported Bush claim that decrease in border arrests is a sign of progress, but not that he said opposite in late 2005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704110003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704110003 Wed, 11 Apr 2007 14:01:18 EST NY Times, McClatchy uncritically reported Bush claim that congressional actions will extend troops' tours of duty http://mediamatters.org/items/200704050002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704050002 Thu, 5 Apr 2007 12:26:50 EST WSJ, McClatchy uncritically reported Sampson's claim that Lam's "real problem" was immigration http://mediamatters.org/items/200703310001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703310001 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 20:15:31 EST
