John McCain. Gregory stated, "John McCain has not gotten a lot of scrutiny right now because we've had an historic Democratic race to contend with, but does that necessarily hold up as we go along?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130008 Tue, 13 May 2008 17:52:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Beginning on the afternoon of April 23, MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN aired a controversial ad by the North Carolina Republican Party attacking Sen. Barack Obama and two Democratic gubernatorial candidates at least 22 times combined, in most cases also noting that Sen. John McCain denounced the ad. As media figures on MSNBC and CNN pointed out, the repeated broadcasts benefit the North Carolina Republican Party, which does not have to pay for them, and they presumably benefit McCain, even as he is credited with taking the high road for criticizing the ad. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:13:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200011 After Chuck Todd acknowledged a media double standard in coverage of Sen. John McCain's Al Qaeda-Iran gaffe, CNBC's John Harwood asserted on <em>Morning Joe</em>: "I think that at the end of the day, John McCain has got sufficient credibility on that issue that people are not going to look at that and say, 'Oh, John McCain is confused' or 'John McCain's too old' or 'John McCain doesn't get it.' ... But he obviously can't do that too many times or he's got a problem." Harwood was not alone in misrepresenting or excusing McCain's false claim on MSNBC; several MSNBC reporters and anchors have ignored or excused McCain's false claim. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200011 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:01:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200007 MSNBC's David Gregory did not challenge Republican strategist Mike Murphy's false claim that "Barack Obama's talked about paratroopers in Islamabad, for heaven's sake." In fact, Obama has stated that "[i]f we have actionable intelligence about high-level Al Qaeda targets in Pakistan's border region, we must act if Pakistan will not or cannot." A <em>Media Matters </em>review found no examples of Obama calling for dropping "paratroopers in Islamabad" or anywhere else in Pakistan. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200007 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:20:05 EST
