John McCain, that Sen. Barack Obama "fought funding for our troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan over a year ago" and was "withholding funds for our troops who are in combat in Iraq and in Afghanistan." Hall did not note that Obama has cast several votes for war-funding legislation, nor did she note that McCain himself has voted against legislation funding the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807210009 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:24:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806300007 On <em>MSNBC Live</em>, Contessa Brewer falsely claimed that former President Bill Clinton "reportedly told London's <em>The Telegraph</em> paper that [Sen.] Barack Obama was going to, quote, 'have to kiss my you-know-what,' unquote, if he wanted the former president's help." In fact, the <em>Telegraph</em> article quoted an anonymous "senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton," who in turn cited another anonymous source: "One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806300007 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:47:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805150005 On <em><em>MSNBC Live</em></em>, Tamron Hall stated: "Well, remember when there were those reports out that Hillary Clinton would use the so-called 'Tonya Harding strategy' to perhaps take out Barack Obama? Well, we're going to talk to the real Tonya Harding about her place in history and now her infamy within American politics. Yes, really, Mika." Mika Brzezinski said: "Oh, my God," later adding: "I can't believe that. It's great." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805150005 Thu, 15 May 2008 17:03:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280008 MSNBC's Tamron Hall held a discussion with North Carolina radio host Jeff Katz about the effect Sen. Barack Obama former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is having on North Carolina voters without disclosing that Katz's website prominently encourages visitors to "Help the N.C. GOP keep their ad on the air," referring to an ad that attacks Obama for his connections to Wright, and contains the false claim that Obama "won't pledge to the flag." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200804280008 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:21:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310007 On <em>Morning Joe</em>, Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist repeatedly mocked Sen. Barack Obama's bowling performance -- which Scarborough called "dainty" -- at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Deriding Obama's score, Scarborough said: "You know Willie, the thing is, Americans want their president, if it's a man, to be a real man." He added, "You get 150, you're a man, or a good woman," to which Geist replied, "Out of my president, I want a 150, at least." After guest Harold Ford Jr. said that Obama's bowling showed a "humble" and "human" side to him, Scarborough replied, "A very human side? A prissy side." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803310007 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:58:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200012 On <em>Today</em>, Tim Russert discussed the schedules from Sen. Hillary Clinton's time as first lady and asserted: "Senator Clinton has made her experience such a part of this campaign, particularly her eight years as first lady. So this may be very rich in terms of exactly how did she spend her time, who did she meet with?" Russert added that "this, I think, today will be analyzed very closely by all of us at NBC News and media organizations across the country." Indeed, while NBC and MSNBC journalists discussed more substantive issues related to her schedules, they also repeatedly discussed what the schedules say, or do not say, about where Hillary Clinton was during Monica Lewinsky's encounters with President Clinton, in many cases teasing segments or leading them with that information. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200012 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:52:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250011 On <em>MSNBC Live</em>, Tamron Hall aired an ad from Sen. John McCain that accuses Mitt Romney of "chang[ing] positions like the wind" on his support for "the Bush tax cuts." But Hall did not mention that McCain himself has shifted positions on President Bush's tax cuts or that McCain has previously denounced "negative campaigns." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250011 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:14:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708290007 On MSNBC, anchor Tamron Hall claimed that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are "both saying that the new strategy" in Iraq "is working," and later asked VoteVets.org's Jon Soltz whether it would hurt anti-war organizations' message "when you hear from ... the two leading candidates for president ... saying 'Hey, things are working, so then why not stay longer?' " But neither Clinton nor Obama has said that President Bush's troop increase strategy is "working," and neither has advocated "stay[ing] longer." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200708290007 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 13:50:10 EST
