Barack Obama has "never met with General Petraeus." In fact, as recently as April 8, Obama questioned Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker at a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing on Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300007 Fri, 30 May 2008 18:05:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto reported on Sen. John McCain's rejection of Rev. John Hagee's endorsement, but he didn't note Hagee's remarks about Adolf Hitler and Zionism or that McCain admitted he sought Hagee's endorsement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 Fri, 23 May 2008 11:09:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Fox News' Neil Cavuto misrepresented the projected cost of a federal "housing rescue package" by saying it was going to cost "300 billion bucks," while an on-air graphic read, "House lawmakers set to pass $300B housing bill; bailout?" In fact, while the legislation would authorize the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in homeownership retention loans, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the program would cost the government $2.7 billion between 2008-2013. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Thu, 8 May 2008 18:38:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto said of Sen. Barack Obama: "Well, one of the reasons why he espoused talking to our enemies -- much as Jimmy Carter has with his recent meeting with Hamas and all that -- is that we can't make things worse, so what's the harm in talking to them?" Contrary to Cavuto's suggestion that Obama has expressed a willingness to meet with Hamas, Reuters reported on March 3 that Obama "has said he would break with President George W. Bush's stance of declining to talk to some other international adversaries but that stance does not apply to Hamas." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 Thu, 1 May 2008 16:16:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802190004 While discussing Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign strategy for the March 4 Democratic primary in Texas, Neil Cavuto said of Clinton: "[S]he's trying to run away from this tough, kind of bitchy image." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802190004 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:04:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140009 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Ann Coulter repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and said, "It's shocking that ... he's probably going to be our next president, President Hussein." Less than a week ago, Coulter also referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and asserted: "[H]is first big accomplishment" was "being born half-black. ... He wouldn't be running for president if he weren't half-black." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140009 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:55:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150008 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, echoing an anonymously sourced blurb posted on the Drudge Report, Ann Coulter stated, "Well, apparently, Wolf Blitzer has gotten a little talking-to. And, yes, I think he'll be serving tea and cookies before asking [Sen.] Hillary [Rodham Clinton] a question." Host Neil Cavuto agreed with Coulter's claim that Blitzer "has been given a talking-to" prior to the November 15 Democratic presidential debate. But Blitzer himself said, "No one has pressured me. No one has threatened me. No one is trying to intimidate me." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711150008 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:29:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310009 During an interview with Rudy Giuliani, Fox News' Neil Cavuto did not challenge Giuliani's assertion that "[t]he chance of a man surviving prostate cancer in the United States is somewhere, when I was doing it, 82, 84 percent. It's probably over 90 percent now. In socialized medicine countries ... some of them can be less than 50 percent." However, the purported source for the statistics, the Commonwealth Fund, issued a statement saying that the numbers are "incorrect." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310009 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:44:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710120001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710120001 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:16:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030009 Fox News' Neil Cavuto juxtaposed a video clip of children pulling red wagons in front of the White House as part of a recent demonstration against President Bush's threatened veto of legislation to increase funding for the State Children's Health Insurance Program with a still image of Saddam Hussein and a British boy that was taken in a TV interview in which Saddam appeared with Western hostages in the lead-up to the Persian Gulf War. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030009 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 15:00:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708240011 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto brought up Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's comment that "[i]f certain things happen between now and the elections, particularly with respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again," and asked radio talk-show host Ben Ferguson, "So, Ben, your take on this is that she knows in her heart of hearts Republicans are tougher on terror?" But Cavuto did not mention that Clinton criticized Republicans' handling of national security in the very same statement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708240011 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 19:38:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707180003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707180003 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 13:36:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706100001 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto falsely asserted that John Edwards had "used" Paris Hilton "in part of his campaign comments, talking about the dichotomy between the rich and the poor." In fact, when asked at a press conference to comment on Hilton, Edwards responded that he was "gonna stay out of the Paris Hilton story." http://mediamatters.org/items/200706100001 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 12:44:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705100010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705100010 Thu, 10 May 2007 19:36:28 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704130001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704130001 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:12:29 EST
