Joe Lieberman in a discussion about the apology made by Rev. John Hagee, a supporter of Sen. John McCain, over controversial comments he made concerning the Catholic Church. But Kelly did not challenge Lieberman's suggestion that McCain merely accepted Hagee's endorsement, and Kelly made no mention of McCain's acknowledgment that he actually sought Hagee's endorsement.<br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200805140006 Wed, 14 May 2008 15:52:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 On numerous May 8 programs, Fox News anchors and reporters promoted the notion that Sen. John McCain is reluctant to discuss his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In fact, as Media <em>Matters for America</em> has documented, McCain has repeatedly highlighted that experience. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 Fri, 9 May 2008 19:36:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804090005 During a panel discussion on <em>America's Election HQ </em>that included two former Bush administration officials but no progressives or Democrats, Ari Fleischer said Sen. John McCain's questioning of Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker showed "he had the best intuitive understanding of the issues." But no participant in the discussion noted that during his questioning of Petraeus, McCain asked of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQ-I): "Certainly not an obscure sect of -- of the Shiites all -- overall?" In fact, AQ-I is a Sunni Muslim, not Shiite, group. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804090005 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 15:49:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804040004 On <em>America's Election HQ</em>, Megyn Kelly repeatedly distorted comments by Howard Dean and falsely claimed that Dean charged that "McCain is out there touting his military experience and that there is something opportunistic about it." Several other Fox News hosts have similarly misrepresented Dean's comments. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804040004 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 14:53:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280013 After ABC's Jake Tapper quoted "an anonymous Democratic Party official" saying that Hillary Clinton's "securing the nomination is certainly possible -- but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option,' " numerous media figures have repeated the "Tonya Harding option" analogy in reference to the Clinton campaign -- some going so far as to assert that it is a specific strategy adopted by the campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280013 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:22:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280002 Fox News' Megyn Kelly echoed a <em>Washington Times</em> column that questioned the legality of an Elton John concert for Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign, even after the Clinton campaign posted a statement from FEC spokesman Bob Biersack saying he does not believe there is "anything unlawful about Elton John performing in a concert to raise money for a US presidential candidate." Additionally, Lis Wiehl falsely claimed that a 1981 FEC advisory opinion stated that "you couldn't volunteer any time if you're a foreign national." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280002 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:40:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130008 While discussing the "dogfight under way" over the Protect America Act, Fox News' Megyn Kelly falsely claimed that "this bill," which "allows the president to, among other things, surveil the conversations between American citizens and those suspected of being terrorists overseas" is "set to expire on Friday," February 15. In fact, only revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act made in August 2007 would expire; the government would retain the authority to monitor the communications of suspected terrorists. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130008 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:47:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020010 Purporting to "give you some background on this quickly," Fox News' Megyn Kelly said of Rush Limbaugh's comments characterizing service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers": "Rush originally used this term 'phony soldiers' when he was talking about a guy named Jesse MacBeth." In fact, when Limbaugh first used the term on the September 26 show, he had not mentioned MacBeth, and did not mention MacBeth until 1 minute and 50 seconds after he used the phrase "phony soldiers." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020010 Tue, 2 Oct 2007 15:13:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706110003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706110003 Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:58:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030006 Tue, 3 Apr 2007 15:05:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703210010 Fox News' <em>America</em><em>'s</em><em> Newsroom</em> uncritically reported Republican assertions that Al Gore violated House and Senate committee rules by not submitting copies of his testimony 48 hours in advance, but did not note that committee rules give the chairman authority to waive or ignore the requirement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200703210010 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 16:25:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702150012 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702150012 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:11:25 EST
