John McCain is "fit enough to be the next commander in chief," radio host Mike Papantonio said, "[W]e ought to have the right to know about what's the status of the cancer that he had -- he developed two times, malignant melanoma." Steve Doocy replied, "That is true. All right. And I believe those records have all been released." However, while McCain released his full medical records in 1999, he has yet to release his recent medical records, which his campaign reportedly says it will do "sometime in May" after reportedly having "pledged to release [his cancer] test results before the end of April." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240008 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:38:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240007 Discussing an attack ad on Sen. Barack Obama that Sen. John McCain has denounced, <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> co-host Andrew Napolitano asserted: "John McCain, for his whole career, has tried to stay above this kind of a fray. Why should he change now?" Napolitano did not point out that this is the latest example of a pattern in which McCain denounces smears against his opponents, while also benefiting from them. Moreover, in asserting that McCain has "tried to stay above this kind of a fray," Napolitano seemingly ignored several instances in which McCain has misrepresented the statements or positions of his opponents. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240007 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:08:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010004 Echoing his false claim the previous day that DNC chairman Howard Dean accused Sen. John McCain of "blatant opportunism" for referencing his military service as part of his presidential campaign, co-host Steve Doocy asserted on <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> that "Howard Dean looked at the biography tour and called John McCain blatantly opportunistic, which is extraordinary about a guy who spent five years in the Hanoi Hilton." In fact, Dean did not say that McCain's reference to his military record was "blatantly opportunistic." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010004 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 16:12:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310017 Fox News' Steve Doocy asserted that Sen. John McCain "has not really talked much about his time in the Hanoi Hilton for five years, and what happened to him, and they are including some of that archival stuff in a [campaign] video. And now, Howard Dean says that that is 'blatant opportunism.' " In fact, Dean said: "John McCain can try to reintroduce himself to the country, but he can't change the fact that he cast aside his principles to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Bush for the last seven years. While we honor McCain's military service, the fact is Americans want a real leader who offers real solutions, not a blatant opportunist who doesn't understand the economy and is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310017 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:46:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803210008 <em>Fox News Sunday</em>'s Chris Wallace criticized the hosts of <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> <strong><strong>for </strong></strong>engaging in "two hours of Obama bashing" and for "distorting" comments Sen. Barack Obama made about his grandmother in a radio interview on March 20. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803210008 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:46:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200004 Several media figures have falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama contradicted previous statements when he said during a March 18 speech on race: "Did I ever hear him [Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor] make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes." In fact, Obama previously asserted he had not been present for particular statements Wright made that were repeated by various media outlets and that spurred the recent controversy. He did not claim to have never heard Wright make "remarks that could be considered controversial." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200004 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:42:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803180008 On <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em>, Brian Kilmeade discussed the release by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign of a list of campaign contributions raised by Antoin "Tony" Rezko -- which the campaign says will be donated to charity -- and asserted that the list was of "people that donated to his campaign for Senate and for the presidency." Steve Doocy replied, "Well, actually, I think it's just during the presidential campaign." In fact, a <em>Politico</em> article noted that "the only presidential campaign contribution on the list" came from "financier and Hollywood producer Thomas Rosenberg." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803180008 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:56:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802270008 While discussing conservative radio host Bill Cunningham's repeated reference to Sen. Barack Obama's middle name -- Hussein -- <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> co-host Gretchen Carlson asserted: "[T]he silent thing that nobody is really talking about here is the reason that he was saying the middle name so many times ... is because the connotation is that Barack Obama is a Muslim potentially. His father was a Muslim." Carlson then referred to claims that Obama is a Muslim as "rumors," but neither she nor co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade pointed out that those rumors are false, and that Obama is a Christian. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802270008 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:20:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710090005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710090005 Tue, 9 Oct 2007 14:25:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020015 Contrary to the assertion by <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em> co-host Steve Doocy that NBC's <em>Today</em> "booked" Ann Coulter "to talk about her book, and they didn't talk about her book," <em>Today</em> host Meredith Vieira noted in her introduction of Coulter that she has a new book out, the book appeared on-screen at the beginning and end of the interview, and Vieira did bring it up during the interview. The <em>Today</em> appearance marks at least Coulter's 195th appearance on an NBC-operated channel. http://mediamatters.org/items/200710020015 Tue, 2 Oct 2007 19:40:31 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706290005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706290005 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:06:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704020007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704020007 Mon, 2 Apr 2007 16:52:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230007 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 16:13:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:12:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701290001 According to an ABCNews.com report, Fox News vice president Bill Shine defended John Gibson's reporting on the discredited accusation that Sen. Barack Obama attended a madrassa in his youth. But a statement from Shine, as quoted by the ABCNews.com report, never addressed Gibson's charges that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was behind the smear. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200701290001 Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:49:00 EST
