Hayes en-US Copyright 2008, Media Matters for America Weekly Standard's Hayes notes "significant problems" with Corsi book, but promotes problematic Freddoso book http://mediamatters.org/items/200808140006 On CNN, The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes said that Jerome Corsi's falsehood-laden book The Obama Nation "certainly sounds like it has some significant problems with it." Later, speaking about National Review writer David Freddoso, author of The Case Against Barack Obama, Hayes said, "[H]e's a serious reporter, and he's ... gone back, he's looked at Obama's votes in the Illinois state Senate." But Media Matters has documented numerous examples of misinformation in Freddoso's book, as well as in Corsi's. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808140006 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:12:01 EST CNN's Blitzer failed to note Hayes' false Iraq-Al Qaeda reporting, Cheney connections http://mediamatters.org/items/200707250010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707250010 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 18:06:22 EST Cheney biographer Hayes' pattern of falsely defending the Bush administration's Iraq policy http://mediamatters.org/items/200707240004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707240004 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 15:15:28 EST Official Cheney biographer thoroughly discredited by Senate Intelligence Committee on Iraq connection to 9-11 attacks http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210001 Less than two weeks after it was revealed that The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes had been chosen to write an official biography of Dick Cheney, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a postwar report on Iraq's weapons programs and its purported links to terrorism that thoroughly debunked the claim -- repeatedly advanced by Hayes -- that there existed a connection between the government of Saddam Hussein, Al Qaeda, and 9-11. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210001 Wed, 20 Sep 2006 20:15:31 EST For purported facts on Zarqawi, O'Reilly trusts Stephen Hayes, who "stands behind his reporting," though the Senate Intelligence Committee disputes that "reporting" http://mediamatters.org/items/200609130012 When a guest on The O'Reilly Factor questioned Bill O'Reilly's assertion that a hospital that treated a wounded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was "run by Uday Hussein," O'Reilly replied: "No, that's Stephen Hayes, and he stands behind his reporting, although he did make a mistake. ... He said that Zarqawi's leg was amputated, and it wasn't." http://mediamatters.org/items/200609130012 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 17:59:45 EST Weekly Standard's Hayes wrongly suggested that passage in CIA report rebutted NY Times article on Iraq-Al Qaeda intelligence http://mediamatters.org/items/200605020010 In an article in The Weekly Standard, senior writer Stephen F. Hayes attacked a 2003 article by New York Times staff writer James A. Risen that, according to Hayes, falsely claimed the Bush administration had selectively used intelligence to suggest a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda. To refute the Times article, Hayes quoted a line allegedly from a CIA report referenced by Risen, but the line does not address the administration's alleged selective use of intelligence, or even provide support for the claim of a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605020010 Tue, 2 May 2006 16:55:08 EST Weekly Standard's Hayes falsely claimed polls show support for Bush on NSA spying http://mediamatters.org/items/200601090012 Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes falsely claimed that public polling shows "support" for the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic spy program. In fact, an AP/Ipsos poll released January 6 shows that 56 percent of Americans said the Bush administration "[s]hould ... be required to get a warrant from a judge before monitoring phone and internet communications between American citizens in the United States and suspected terrorists." http://mediamatters.org/items/200601090012 Mon, 9 Jan 2006 17:17:36 EST
