<title>CNN reporters falsely suggested Democrats are only now talking about religious beliefs and values</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200706060002</link>
<description>On June 4 and 5, several CNN correspondents
suggested that, until recently, Democrats have largely been silent on their religious
beliefs and &#x22;values,&#x22; ignoring the fact that presidential
candidates, including John Edwards, and Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack
Obama, among other Democrats, have talked about their religious faith and
values for years. Several of the Democratic candidates referred explicitly to
&#x22;values&#x22; or &#x22;morals&#x22; during the June 3 presidential
debate, which aired on
CNN.

<title>CNN, NBC blame Obama &#x22;opponents&#x22; for smears advanced by media</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200701260014</link>
<description>Anderson Cooper, David Gregory, and
Soledad O&#x27;Brien have all asked Sen. Barack Obama about smears leveled against him,
purportedly by his political &#x22;opponents&#x22; or
&#x22;enemies.&#x22; But in each case, they did
not name any of these &#x22;opponents.&#x22; Indeed, by framing their questions in terms of
political &#x22;opponents,&#x22; they
ignored the media&#x27;s role
in promoting these smears, and in some cases originating them.

<title>CNN&#x27;s O&#x27;Brien labeled Kuo&#x27;s book &#x22;political,&#x22; ignored previous, consistent disclosures by Kuo and his former boss</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200610180003</link>
<description>CNN&#x27;s Soledad O&#x27;Brien accused David Kuo, the former deputy director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under President Bush, of writing a &#x22;very political book,&#x22; the timing of which was &#x22;[i]nteresting.&#x22; But O&#x27;Brien ignored comments that Kuo and his former boss, John Dilulio, had previously made that are consistent with the claims made in the book.</description>

<title>Network morning shows provided forum for Lieberman&#x27;s attacks, no forum for Lamont</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200608100002</link>
<description>During their August 9 coverage of the Connecticut Democratic Senate primary, the three major broadcast networks&#x27; morning news programs interviewed Sen. Joseph Lieberman but failed to host the winner, Ned Lamont, or any of his representatives. Additionally, NBC&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;Today&#x3C;/em&#x3E; and CBS&#x27; &#x3C;em&#x3E;The Early Show&#x3C;/em&#x3E; aired twice as much footage of Lieberman&#x27;s statements following the election as they ran of Lamont&#x27;s statements.</description>

<title>Media touted Bush&#x27;s &#x22;surge of momentum&#x22; as rash of problems surround White House</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200606140011</link>
<description>Following the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the news that Karl Rove would not be indicted in the CIA leak case, and other events, media figures have declared that the Bush administration is experiencing &#x22;a surge of momentum.&#x22; But such assertions ignore the White House&#x27;s numerous current problems.</description>

<title>Media touted Bush&#x27;s routine at Correspondents&#x27; dinner, ignored Colbert&#x27;s skewering</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010005</link>
<description>Following the White House Correspondents&#x27; dinner, numerous news outlets trumpeted President Bush&#x27;s performance at the event, but entirely ignored the scathing routine delivered by the night&#x27;s featured entertainer, Comedy Central&#x27;s Stephen Colbert. In his act, Colbert mocked the White House&#x27;s current woes, slammed a wide range of Bush administration policies, and lampooned the mainstream media.</description>

<title>NBC&#x27;s Williams and Gregory failed to report the significance of Dubai Ports World&#x27;s government ownership</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200602240001</link>
<description>In reporting on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ports controversy, NBC&#x27;s Brian Williams failed to inform viewers that Dubai Ports World is owned by the government of Dubai, a member of the UAE. NBC&#x27;s David Gregory later indicated that the company is state-owned but entirely ignored the significance of this. In doing so, they obscured the source of the controversy surrounding the Bush administration&#x27;s approval of a deal to grant the company control of six U.S. ports.</description>

<title>CNN repeatedly referred to Dubai Ports World simply as a foreign or Arab company, without noting it is government-owned</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200602220004</link>
<description>CNN anchors and reporters repeatedly described Dubai Ports World -- the company set to assume control of six U.S. ports -- as an &#x22;Arab company&#x22; or a &#x22;Dubai-based company.&#x22; However, in describing the company as such, these reporters are ignoring a key factor in the bipartisan controversy surrounding the takeover deal, which is that the company is a state-run business in the United Arab Emirates.</description>
