Hillary Clinton "said that Chelsea [Clinton] was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea's life." In fact, Hillary Clinton made no such claim. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803270008 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:56:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803140007 In a <em>Wall Street Journal </em>op-ed, Newsmax's Ronald Kessler truncated Sen. Barack Obama's response to a controversial statement by his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., about 9-11, repeating a statement from a <em>New York Times</em> interview in which Obama said "it sounds like [Wright] was trying to be provocative." But Kessler omitted Obama's statement, reported in the same article, disagreeing with Wright's 9-11 comments: "The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803140007 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:49:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801070005 In a NewsMax.com column, Lowell Ponte falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama could "become the first American president whose thinking was shaped by childhood in a Muslim madrassah in Islamic Indonesia." The claim that Obama was educated in a madrassa has been thoroughly debunked by several news organizations. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801070005 Mon, 7 Jan 2008 16:14:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707130010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707130010 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 17:09:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706070010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706070010 Thu, 7 Jun 2007 18:18:31 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703290011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703290011 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 17:39:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190007 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 14:34:18 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180007 Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:59:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610130010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610130010 Fri, 13 Oct 2006 17:36:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608030002 Conservative media figures have jumped to the defense of Mel Gibson after he made a series of anti-Semitic remarks when he was arrested for driving under the influence. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608030002 Wed, 2 Aug 2006 20:40:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607110009 In his latest column, David Horowitz baselessly suggested that U.S. officials were able to uncover an alleged "attack by radical Islam" to bomb tunnels leading into New York City by monitoring the communications of Americans, an apparent reference to the controversy over <em>The New York Times</em>' reporting in December that the administration was monitoring domestic communications without a warrant. In fact, there is no indication, in any reports, that the FBI engaged in the kind of domestic eavesdropping on which the Times reported to uncover the alleged tunnel plot; the communications made in connection with the purported plot apparently did not involve a party inside the United States. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607110009 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 18:18:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606280010 Numerous conservative commentators joined the Bush administration in arguing that, in detailing a secret Treasury Department program designed to monitor terrorists' international financial transactions, a June 23 <em>New York Times</em> article tipped off terrorists to the U.S. government's ability to track their financial activities -- some going so far as to accuse the newspaper of treason. But the <em>Times</em> report was hardly the first indication of U.S. efforts to monitor terrorists' financial transactions: President Bush himself repeatedly touted the government's capability to track and shut down terrorists' international financial networks. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606280010 Wed, 28 Jun 2006 19:48:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606140001 Despite having previously criticized Tim Russert for alleged liberal "media bias," right-wing news website NewsMax is promoting Russert's new book, <em>Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons</em>, as "a great Father's Day Gift." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606140001 Wed, 14 Jun 2006 09:16:42 EST
