David Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker on the effect of President Bush's troop increase in Iraq -- have engaged in a campaign to convince the media and public that progress is being made in Iraq and that the "surge" is "working." <em>Media Matters</em> has compiled some of the most pervasive myths and falsehoods advanced by opponents of withdrawal in service of the "surge is working" message, which many in the media have been complicit in perpetuating. http://mediamatters.org/items/200709090001 Sun, 9 Sep 2007 13:15:20 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708020011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708020011 Thu, 2 Aug 2007 19:38:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010001 Tue, 1 May 2007 12:25:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703260011 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:51:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060006 Tue, 6 Mar 2007 12:01:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701190007 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 14:34:18 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701180007 Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:59:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310003 In her <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> column, Gloria Borger asserted that "[n]o one would accuse [Sen. John] McCain [R-AZ] of equivocating on anything." But McCain has done just that on a variety of issues, including tax cuts for the wealthy, abortion, teaching intelligent design to public school students, and the Confederate flag. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310003 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 19:38:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610170001 Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman has been inconsistent in his public statements about his relationship to disgraced GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. In recent interviews, CNN's Wolf Blitzer and <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> staff writer Will Sullivan passed up the opportunity to challenge Mehlman about these inconsistencies. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610170001 Mon, 16 Oct 2006 20:02:10 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610090001 <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> senior writer Michael Barone claimed that the <em>St. Petersburg Times</em> concluded that emails then-Rep. Mark Foley allegedly sent to a former page in 2005 "were so innocuous as to be unworthy of publication." Contrary to Barone's claim, the <em>Times</em> stated that it assigned two reporters to the story and decided not to publish the emails not because they were "innocuous" but because the family of the former page did not want the matter explored further. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610090001 Mon, 9 Oct 2006 12:22:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050014 A <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> online article asserted that House Speaker Dennis Hastert had "recover[ed]" from the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley because Hastert "w[on] support from conservatives" and because "religious leaders" did not demand his resignation. In fact, progressive religious leaders -- and conservative Family Research Council president Tony Perkins -- have criticized Hastert and the Republican leadership over the Foley scandal. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050014 Thu, 5 Oct 2006 18:55:18 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607310006 A <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> article used cherry-picked and out-of-context polling results to misleadingly suggest that Democrats face dire political consequences if they disagree with Republicans on national security issues. The article conflated public opinion of the parties' handling of two separate issues, Iraq and terrorism. Further, the article invoked Democratic losses in 2002 and 2004 that "were attributed largely to the GOP advantage on national security" without noting that the advantage the GOP held on national security in those elections has greatly dwindled, and in some cases vanished altogether. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607310006 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 17:06:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604040004 In recent days, AP writer Tom Raum and <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> contributing editor Gloria Borger have taken pot shots at Democrats while ostensibly writing about problems within the Republican Party. http://mediamatters.org/items/200604040004 Tue, 4 Apr 2006 16:00:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603280005 <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> featured an article on how "George Bush wants to run his presidency like a business," which noted that Bush, according to White House insiders, "is applying the hands-off style he learned at Harvard Business School ... and also the methods that worked for him as an oilman." <em>U.S. News</em> never explained what exactly the "methods that worked" for Bush in the oil industry were, but according to news reports, they appear to have involved using his family's connections and influence to keep his failing oil venture afloat. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603280005 Tue, 28 Mar 2006 11:52:28 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602220003 In his <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report</em> column, Mortimer B. Zuckerman wrote that arguments that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic spying program is illegal "miss the point." http://mediamatters.org/items/200602220003 Wed, 22 Feb 2006 12:41:00 EST
