Abrams stated: "Any article about his drug use is bad news for Obama. But for the <em>Times</em> to claim deceitful motives just because they couldn't find anyone to corroborate his [Obama's] youthful indiscretion is the ultimate in media arrogance. And sadly, I predict this story will be just the first in a series of non-stories about his drug use." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802120008 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:15:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710010003 On <em>MSNBC Live with Dan Abrams</em>, discussing Bill O'Reilly's recent controversial comments about his visit to Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem, Rhode Island radio host John DePetro stated: "It was a discussion on race and we're talking about Harlem. And by and large -- I lived in New York for years -- white people don't go to Harlem." He continued: "If Dan Abrams and John DePetro, Bill O'Reilly, some white guys are sitting around a table, and Dan Abrams said, 'Yeah, I was up in Harlem last night.' We would think you were either, a) looking for drugs, or, b) looking for a prostitute." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710010003 Mon, 1 Oct 2007 12:52:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708300008 On MSNBC, Pat Buchanan asserted that Rep. Barney Frank "had a fellow running a -- basically a full-service whorehouse in his basement."
