We anticipate similar attention for our Vote Ratings across the 2008 election cycle." Numerous media did follow suit and tout the Journal's 2003 rating of Kerry. And once again, the media are giving the 2007 ratings the "similar attention" the National Journal Group anticipated -- despite the Journal's acknowledgment that the methodology it used to rate Kerry was flawed. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140003 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:56:48 EST Ignoring researcher's caveat, WSJ's Henninger claimed stem-cell controversy "[b]asically [...] is over" http://mediamatters.org/items/200712100004 On Fox News' The Journal Editorial Report, Wall Street Journal deputy editorial page editor Daniel Henninger discussed the announcement that American and Japanese research teams discovered, in the words of the senior American scientist, a "new way to trick skin cells into acting like embryos" by "reprogram[ming] skin cells into multipurpose stem cells without harming embryos." Henninger said: "Basically, the controversy is over. And I think, in retrospect, we should say something on behalf of, say, [President] George Bush, who vetoed that stem-cell bill." However, the senior American scientist wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that the new developments "[f]ar from vindicat[e]" the Bush administration's policy "of withholding federal funds from many of those working to develop potentially lifesaving embryonic stem cells." http://mediamatters.org/items/200712100004 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:52:07 EST Journal Ed.

It is mean-spirited." http://mediamatters.org/items/200607100004 Mon, 10 Jul 2006 15:38:17 EST WSJ's Stephens claimed that Americans are "not for pulling out" of Iraq; polls suggest otherwise http://mediamatters.org/items/200606270002 On The Journal Editorial Report, Wall Street Journal editorial writer Bret Stephens asserted that an internal White House poll "reflects the fact that Americans want a strategy for winning ... not for pulling out," but failed to note that the most recent Journal poll, as well as other recent public polls, show that Americans do support pulling troops out of Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606270002 Tue, 27 Jun 2006 12:59:42 EST After hyping Iraqi nuclear threat in 2002-03, conservative media now doing the same with Iranian nuclear program http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010006 On the third anniversary of President Bush's premature declaration of victory in Iraq, Media Matters has compiled examples of media that sounded alarms over Iraq's purported weapons of mass destruction capabilities now sounding similar alarms over Iran. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010006 Mon, 1 May 2006 17:15:22 EST Déjà-vu: Just as with Iraq, WSJ editorial writers hyped "urgency" of Iranian nuclear threat http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180005 On Fox News' The Journal Editorial Report, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot and editorial writer Bret Stephens addressed the "urgency" of the "crisis" regarding Iran's attempts to enrich uranium and reported pursuit of nuclear weapons.
