John McCain "has made a career of taking heat from his own party for working with liberal Democrats like ... Ted Kennedy on immigration." However, Liasson did not note that during his run for president, McCain reversed his position on a key component of comprehensive immigration reform, and stated that he would not vote for the bill he co-sponsored with Kennedy. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020008 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:44:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806270010 NPR's Ren&eacute;e Montagne, MSNBC's Pat Buchanan, and CNN's Bill Bennett all referred to the <em>National Journal</em>'s 2007 Vote Ratings, which ranked Sen. Barack Obama the most liberal senator that year, without noting the subjectivity of the ratings. The <em>National Journal</em> based its rankings not on all votes cast by senators in 2007, but on "99 key Senate votes, selected by <em>NJ</em> reporters and editors, to place every senator on a liberal-to-conservative scale." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806270010 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:21:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806200005 NPR's Scott Horsley reported on the attacks on Sen. Barack Obama's national security credentials by Sen. John McCain's campaign, including allies such as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and played an audio clip of McCain saying, "And I think Mayor Giuliani, who is very well qualified on this issue, having been mayor of New York City at an incredible time in American history, has put it very well." However, Horsley did not note that McCain had previously said that "having been mayor of New York City" on 9-11 did not constitute foreign policy or national security experience. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806200005 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:30:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805200003 NPR's Juan Williams asserted that Sen. John McCain "has fought his own party, the GOP, on immigration." And Fox News' Dick Morris stated that McCain "really has moved to the left of the Republican Party" on "the immigration bill." However, neither Williams nor Morris mentioned that McCain has reversed his position on immigration and now asserts that "we've got to secure the borders first" -- a position at odds with his prior assertion that border security could not be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration reform without being rendered ineffective. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805200003 Tue, 20 May 2008 16:45:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804210002 Responding to a question about whether Sen. John McCain was "maintaining the endorsement" of controversial televangelist John Hagee. NPR's Cokie Roberts asserted: "Well, he says that it was a mistake to seek and accept the endorsement. So I -- what does that mean? I don't know if that means that he has -- maintains it or not." In fact, when asked if he "no longer want[ed]" Hagee's endorsement, McCain stated: "I'm glad to have his endorsement." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804210002 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:10:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280007 In a report on congressional action in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis, National Public Radio's Brian Naylor uncritically reported McCain's statement that it's not the government's job to "bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers." Naylor did not note that McCain reportedly agreed with the Federal Reserve's decision to extend a $30 billion line of credit to facilitate the acquisition of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280007 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:32:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310012 In their coverage of the January 30 Republican presidential debate, the <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, the <em>Chicago Tribune</em>, ABC, and National Public Radio all reported Sen. John McCain's criticism of Mitt Romney over negative campaign ads. However, none of those media outlets noted that McCain has aired numerous ads attacking Romney, despite having said that "negative campaigns don't work." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310012 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 19:46:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801040006 On NPR's <em>Morning Edition</em>, while reporting on Rudy Giuliani's sixth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, correspondent Ina Jaffe falsely asserted that "Iowa never played a role in his strategy." In fact, in June 2007, Giuliani's campaign manager said: "We are 100 percent committed to winning Iowa and I believe we will do so." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801040006 Fri, 4 Jan 2008 16:21:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711260002 Reporting on a Republican-backed California ballot initiative that would award the state's electoral votes by congressional district, NPR correspondent Ina Jaffe aired an audio clip of Republican consultant Dave Gilliard, who asserted: "We want [presidential candidates] to come out here and actually campaign throughout California. We want them to go to the Central Valley, and Inland Empire, and the North Coast, and talk to Californians about what's important to California." In fact, California has only three congressional districts that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) or President Bush carried by 5 percentage points or less during the 2004 election, and thus, if the initiative passed, campaigns would presumably have little incentive "to come out here and actually campaign." Further, Jaffe's report did not note one of the major arguments made in opposition to the California initiative -- that it reapportions the electoral votes of only California, rather than applying a nationwide standard for the distribution of electoral votes. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711260002 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:32:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707310009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707310009 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:41:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707170008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707170008 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:40:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210011 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 17:29:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210010 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 17:24:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704250013 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704250013 Wed, 25 Apr 2007 18:21:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260010 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 18:54:42 EST
