Ron Paul, and, echoing Huckabee's assertion about needing not "to lose our honor," declared: "Clearly, principle won out in this exchange." Luntz cited no evidence that the focus group participants favored Huckabee's comments because they thought that the comments -- in contrast with Paul's -- were based on "principle." In fact, Paul's position on the Iraq war has been consistent, though originally sharply at odds with public opinion. http://mediamatters.org/items/200709070003 Fri, 7 Sep 2007 09:28:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709060007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709060007 Thu, 6 Sep 2007 17:29:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704030010 Tue, 3 Apr 2007 17:24:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701310001 Numerous media outlets reported -- as President Bush claimed in an interview on National Public Radio -- that Iraqi troops took the lead in the battle near Najaf against religious militia the Soldiers of Heaven, without noting that the Iraqis were reportedly "overwhelmed" until U.S. forces joined them. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200701310001 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 11:47:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611020002 CNN's <em>Your World Today</em> devoted 16 minutes to live coverage of a press briefing by Tony Snow, which focused on the controversy over Sen.

But they failed to inform viewers about a key point made by <em>USA Today</em>, which broke the story -- that the NSA can easily obtain this information through other databases. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605110008 Thu, 11 May 2006 15:48:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190006 CNN's John Roberts -- after acknowledging that he would likely get "in trouble in the liberal blogs" for saying it -- said of outgoing White House press secretary Scott McClellan: "I think that he is a truth-teller." This is the second time Roberts has praised McClellan as a "truth-teller." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190006 Wed, 19 Apr 2006 17:56:53 EST
