Bush "won that election in Florida." In fact, according to <em>The Washington Post</em>, data from a study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center found that under several different criteria for assessing a voter's intent, Al Gore would have received more votes than Bush after a statewide recount of all ballots "that were initially rejected by voting machines." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806270003 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:42:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280006 Despite the availability of expenditure reports showing that Sen. John McCain's campaign used a corporate jet owned by his wife's company over a seven-month period beginning in the summer of 2007, several members of the media asserted earlier this year that McCain flew coach when the campaign was low on funds. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280006 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:59:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804250003 In an April 24 PBS <em>NewsHour</em> report about a <em>New York Times</em> article that revealed "the role of military analysts on TV and in the Pentagon," Judy Woodruff stated:"[W]e invited Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and NBC to participate, but they declined our offer or did not respond." Further, according to a search of programs in Nexis, several of these outlets have yet to report on the revelations in the April 20 <em>Times</em> article. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804250003 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:21:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804230011 On April 22, <em>The Daily Show</em>'s Jon Stewart highlighted two recent reports concerning national security that have been largely ignored by most television news outlets and NPR: a <em>New York Times</em> article reporting that "the Bush administration has used" media military analysts, many of whom have clients with or seeking Pentagon contracts, "into a kind of media Trojan horse -- an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks"; and a Government Accountability Office report that found that the "United States has not met its national security goals to destroy terrorist threats and close the safe haven in Pakistan's FATA." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804230011 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:44:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310006 On <em>The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer</em>, Mark Shields asserted that Sen. John McCain "emphasized a lot of places of disagreement" with President Bush during his March 26 foreign policy speech, including "the sense of communality and collegiality among nations, reaching to the allies." But neither Shields nor the others in the discussion noted any of the highly critical statements McCain made about U.S. allies who opposed the Iraq war. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310006 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:37:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310001 During an interview with Sen. Chuck Hagel, Charlie Rose falsely asserted that Sen. John McCain "early on call[ed] for the firing of Secretary Rumsfeld." In fact, while McCain expressed "no confidence" in Rumsfeld in 2004, he did not call for him to be fired; he said the decision about whether Rumsfeld should leave was the president's. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310001 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:32:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711040003 On PBS' <em>Washington Week</em>, John Dickerson asserted that there will "perhaps [be] a tax increase to fix the alternative minimum tax," which he claimed "gets the Republicans very exercised and excited" because they "can go around talking about how Democrats are going to raise taxes." In fact, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has authored a proposal that would, according to the accompanying press release, "provide tax relief to more than 90 million working families through a permanent repeal of the individual alternative minimum tax (AMT) and enhancement of other tax benefits." The press release also stated that Rangel's plan is "entirely revenue-neutral." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711040003 Sun, 4 Nov 2007 16:28:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090003 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 18:09:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080007 Sun, 8 Jul 2007 15:18:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706300004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706300004 Sat, 30 Jun 2007 12:58:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706280006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706280006 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:20:08 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706260002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706260002 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 20:19:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210015 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210015 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 18:33:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705180002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705180002 Fri, 18 May 2007 13:12:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705100002 PBS' <em>The</em> <em>NewsHour with Jim Lehrer </em>hosted a segment on grassroots groups seeking to influence Iraq policy that included conservative radio host and Move America Forward chairman Melanie Morgan, whose history of false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims regarding the Iraq war went unmentioned during the segment, as did her numerous smears. http://mediamatters.org/items/200705100002 Wed, 9 May 2007 20:18:43 EST
