To critics and even some friends, it looks like a sweetheart deal." Moran later added that Obama's campaign "insists that the Obamas' purchase and the Rezko purchase were not contingent on each other and were made at fair-market prices." But Moran cited no one saying the home purchase "looks like a sweetheart deal" and did not note that, according to Bloomberg News, "[t]he couple who sold Barack Obama his Chicago home said the Illinois senator's $1.65 million bid 'was the best offer' and they didn't cut their asking price because a campaign donor bought their adjacent land, according to e-mails between Obama's presidential campaign and the seller." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802280007 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:57:39 EST MoveOn.org and the media mess http://mediamatters.org/items/200709180005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709180005 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:31:46 EST The Iraq news blackout: how the press spent its summer vacation http://mediamatters.org/items/200709050002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709050002 Wed, 5 Sep 2007 09:34:12 EST Nightline, GMA, Today report Thompson's reaction to commutation, but not his ties to Libby defense fund http://mediamatters.org/items/200707030009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707030009 Tue, 3 Jul 2007 16:59:41 EST The media's assault on reason http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120005 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 16:19:35 EST ABC's Moran falsely asserted McCain takes "all questions," ignored flip-flops http://mediamatters.org/items/200703270009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703270009 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:26:49 EST ABC's Tapper claimed "inherent contradiction" in Clinton's Iraq statements but left out context refuting his claim http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130010 Jake Tapper baselessly claimed that an "inherent contradiction" exists between Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's statements prior to her 2002 vote to authorize the use of force against Iraq and her recent explanation of that vote. Tapper's report suggested that Clinton had not advocated further U.N. inspections in Iraq before an invasion, but she did so in the same 2002 interview from which Tapper quoted. http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130010 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:04:51 EST The Pelosi smear: Stupid -- but kind of entertaining http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130007 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 13:08:25 EST Nightline aired GOP claim that Pelosi requested "a luxury jet" http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090017 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090017 Fri, 9 Feb 2007 18:04:48 EST Tapper's profile of "Barack Hussein Obama" asked: "Just who the hell is Barack Obama?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180002 Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:49:23 EST ABC's Nightline reported that "both sides" are airing "mudslinging" campaign ads, yet Nightline could not point to a single Democratic example http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260004 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 10:44:10 EST Press downplays Iraq during campaign season.

In fact, while much of the intelligence produced by the CIA before the Iraq war was indeed faulty, many of the Bush administration's most dramatic prewar claims had been called into question by the CIA or other intelligence agencies. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605220003 Mon, 22 May 2006 13:13:33 EST ABC's Donvan misrepresented scope of Harris controversy, ignored her request for MZM appropriation http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230014 On ABC's Nightline, correspondent John Donvan misrepresented the scope of the controversy about ties between Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) and disgraced defense contractor Mitchell Wade. Donvan reported that Wade "made illegal contributions to her campaign" but added: "[T]hough she gave the money back, it's what reporters in Florida keep asking about. Even this week it came up." In fact, in the past week, while Florida newspapers have continued to raise questions about the illegal campaign contributions, they have also focused on Harris's subsequent request to the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee for a $10 million earmark that would have benefited Wade's company. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603230014 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:30:16 EST
