Barack Obama's statements on Pakistan and his commitment to use public financing in the general election, without offering a response from Obama or assessing the accuracy of McCain's allegations. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802220013 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:54:07 EST CBS' Cordes reported on Giuliani's and Romney's "Spanish-language" ads without noting their campaign rhetoric http://mediamatters.org/items/200801220011 CBS' Nancy Cordes reported that Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney aired Spanish-language campaign ads in Florida, but at no point did Cordes note that Giuliani has said that English proficiency should be a requirement for citizenship, or that Romney has said that "English needs to be the language that is spoken in America." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801220011 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:06:55 EST CBS and CNN reports on Confederate flag issue ignored McCain's "act of cowardice" http://mediamatters.org/items/200801180009 The CBS Evening News and CNN's The Situation Room noted Sen. John McCain's opposition to displays of the Confederate flag, but did not report that during the campaign for the South Carolina Republican primary in 2000, McCain had equivocated on whether the flag should fly atop South Carolina's state Capitol. Nor did the reports mention McCain's subsequent admission his equivocation "was an act of cowardice" and that he had "broke[n] [his] promise to always tell the truth" in order to try to "win the South Carolina primary" in 2000. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801180009 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:55:30 EST
