John McCain "had to defend his [May 29] comments that U.S. troops are down to 'presurge level,' " the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> did not point out that McCain's statement was false. As <em>The Washington Post</em> noted, there are about 155,000 troops in Iraq, well above the 130,000 there before the increase. Further, in reporting that McCain "insisted he hadn't misspoken," the <em>Chronicle</em> did not point out that, in addition to his false statement about troop levels in Iraq, he also "misspoke[]" by misstating what he had initially said. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806010001 Sun, 1 Jun 2008 13:05:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100002 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:29:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708090008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708090008 Thu, 9 Aug 2007 19:01:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708090007 While reporting on California Secretary of State Debra Bowen's decision to decertify the state's electronic voting machines in light of a study that found the systems are vulnerable to security breaches, numerous media outlets attacked the study's "unrealistic" methodology or uncritically reported criticism of the study's premise, without noting the researchers' explanation for their methods. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200708090007 Thu, 9 Aug 2007 17:54:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705230002 In a clarification addressing an article on a new campaign encouraging same-sex parents to adopt foster children, the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> acknowledged that Family Research Institute director Paul Cameron, whom it had suggested was an expert on gay issues in its article, had been expelled from the American Psychological Association and that the institute has been "named a hate group."
