Ha!" Matthews recently sparked a firestorm of criticism after saying that "the reason" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "may be a front-runner is her husband messed around," and that "[s]he didn't win [a Senate seat] there [New York] on her merit." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801220008 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:38:14 EST MSNBC's Scarborough highlighted O'Reilly's comments about Sylvia's in Harlem http://mediamatters.org/items/200709250004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709250004 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 13:21:30 EST Defending claim that Clinton said surge was "working," Union-Leader editorial page editor provided evidence to the contrary http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310004 Responding to Media Matters' criticism, Manchester Union Leader editorial page editor Drew Cline defended the newspaper's statement that Sen. "Hillary Clinton said Gen. David Petraeus' troop surge is working." Cline wrote: "Media Muddles preposterously asserts that when Clinton said 'change tactics in Iraq' she was not talking about the surge. ... Oh, OK. The changed tactics refer to what, then? THE SURGE!" But the articles that Cline cited for support show that she attributed the progress in Iraq's Al Anbar province to U.S. agreements with local tribal leaders that began in September 2006. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310004 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:41:19 EST The Times of Shreveport, LA, drops Coulter http://mediamatters.org/items/200703080007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703080007 Thu, 8 Mar 2007 14:55:59 EST The Politico concedes errors identified by Media Matters senior researcher http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070004 Wed, 7 Mar 2007 12:42:55 EST ABC, Wash.
