<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;National Journal&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x27;s Hotline falsely claimed Clinton &#x22;had to borrow funds from her husband&#x22;  </title>

<description>In reporting on Sen. Hillary Clinton&#x27;s $5 million loan to her presidential campaign,&#x3C;em&#x3E; National Journal&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x27;s Hotline On Call claimed that &#x22;Clinton had to borrow funds from her husband, former President Bill Clinton.&#x22; In fact, Sen. Clinton has said that the loan was &#x22;my money,&#x22; and, indeed, it would be illegal for her to use assets belonging solely to her husband to fund her presidential campaign. Hotline On Call also claimed that Sen. Barack Obama was asked about &#x22;what it meant that Clinton had to borrow funds from her husband,&#x22; but there is no evidence that Obama was asked that question or that he remarked on her purportedly having &#x22;borrow[ed] funds from her husband.&#x22;  </description>

<title>Hotline&#x27;s Todd oblivious to McCain&#x27;s inconsistencies on gay and lesbian rights</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200701050005</link>
<description>Ignoring conflicting statements by John McCain on gay and lesbian
issues, The Hotline&#x27;s Chuck
Todd asserted that on the issue of same-sex marriage, McCain is &#x22;being true to what he is and what he thought
conservatism was.&#x22; Todd also likened McCain to Barry Goldwater,
suggesting they held similar views on gay rights; in fact, while McCain
supported an Arizona effort to ban legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples and supports the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the
military, Goldwater became a strong supporter of gay rights and opposed the ban
on gays in the military.
