During the segment, on-air captions read "$300B Bailout Bill," and "House Voting On $300B Housing Bailout Bill." In fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill "would increase budget deficits (or reduce future surpluses) by about $24.9 billion over the 2008-2018 period." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807240002 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:21:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020006 Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling asserted that, according to offshore oil "drillers" with whom he had spoken, "China was probably drilling offshore, very close to our shore through Cuba, and taking some of that oil that -- that honestly could -- could and should be helping our situation." His assertion that China was drilling "very close to our shore" echoed a claim made by Vice President Dick Cheney -- citing columnist George Will -- that both Cheney and Will have since corrected. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020006 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:06:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806040009 On <em>Your World</em>, Dick Morris claimed that Antoin Rezko sold Sen. Barack Obama a strip of land "for an amount that was substantially below its apparent market value." However, according to documents posted on the Obama campaign website, Obama paid $104,166 for the piece of property -- well above its appraised value of $40,500. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806040009 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 19:16:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806020005 On <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, Marc Rudov said men should boycott the Sex and the City movie and would not see it because "paying to hear women whine is as stupid as paying for cobwebs, because you can get them both at home for free." When Bill O'Reilly asked Margaret Hoover whether she believed "that most American women are as shallow as" the four main characters in the movie, Rudov interrupted: "I do." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806020005 Mon, 2 Jun 2008 18:35:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300007 Fox News' Neil Cavuto left unchallenged a false claim by Vets For Freedom chairman Pete Hegseth that Sen. Barack Obama has "never met with General Petraeus." In fact, as recently as April 8, Obama questioned Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker at a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing on Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300007 Fri, 30 May 2008 18:05:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto reported on Sen. John McCain's rejection of Rev. John Hagee's endorsement, but he didn't note Hagee's remarks about Adolf Hitler and Zionism or that McCain admitted he sought Hagee's endorsement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 Fri, 23 May 2008 11:09:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Fox News' Neil Cavuto misrepresented the projected cost of a federal "housing rescue package" by saying it was going to cost "300 billion bucks," while an on-air graphic read, "House lawmakers set to pass $300B housing bill; bailout?" In fact, while the legislation would authorize the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in homeownership retention loans, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the program would cost the government $2.7 billion between 2008-2013. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Thu, 8 May 2008 18:38:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto said of Sen. Barack Obama: "Well, one of the reasons why he espoused talking to our enemies -- much as Jimmy Carter has with his recent meeting with Hamas and all that -- is that we can't make things worse, so what's the harm in talking to them?" Contrary to Cavuto's suggestion that Obama has expressed a willingness to meet with Hamas, Reuters reported on March 3 that Obama "has said he would break with President George W. Bush's stance of declining to talk to some other international adversaries but that stance does not apply to Hamas." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 Thu, 1 May 2008 16:16:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Beginning on the afternoon of April 23, MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN aired a controversial ad by the North Carolina Republican Party attacking Sen. Barack Obama and two Democratic gubernatorial candidates at least 22 times combined, in most cases also noting that Sen. John McCain denounced the ad. As media figures on MSNBC and CNN pointed out, the repeated broadcasts benefit the North Carolina Republican Party, which does not have to pay for them, and they presumably benefit McCain, even as he is credited with taking the high road for criticizing the ad. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240010 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:13:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240009 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Floyd Brown, creator of a new ad claiming that Sen. Barack Obama is "weak in the war on gangs," asserted: "[I]n Chicago, we saw six people killed and over 31 injured. People were stabbed. This is, you know, like Baghdad. And he was the state senator there, and he didn't do anything to clean it up, and I think it's a legitimate issue." Host Neil Cavuto gave no indication that Obama has responded to the ad, much less provide Obama's response. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804240009 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:10:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804210007 On<em> Your World</em>, author Marc Rudov described himself as a "feminist" and said, "I look at women as equal peers." But later that day, on <em><em>The O'Reilly Factor</em></em>, Rudov mocked a study finding that "[h]aving a husband creates an extra seven hours a week of housework for women" as "a flawed, anti-male, un-academic study that -- the kind you would expect from one of America's leading gyno-versities." He also asserted that if "the woman is complaining that the man doesn't work enough around the house," it may be because "she said 'I do' at the altar and 'I don't' in the bedroom." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804210007 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:11:13 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804080010 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Monica Crowley asserted that "liberals like the Clintons" argue "against tax cuts" and to "let the government have more of your money." In fact, Sen. Hillary Clinton's website says that she would "[l]ower taxes for middle class families by: extending the middle class tax cuts ... offering new tax cuts for healthcare, college and retirement, and expanding the EITC [earned income tax credit] and the child care tax credit." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804080010 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 20:44:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803250011 Recycling a standard gender clich&eacute; frequently used by the media to discuss Republicans and Democrats, Larry Sabato said: "Look, when you analyze parties, you need to think of them this way: The Democratic Party is the mommy party, and the Republican Party is the daddy party." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803250011 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:01:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140009 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Ann Coulter repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and said, "It's shocking that ... he's probably going to be our next president, President Hussein." Less than a week ago, Coulter also referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and asserted: "[H]is first big accomplishment" was "being born half-black. ... He wouldn't be running for president if he weren't half-black." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140009 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:55:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711210003 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, author Marc Rudov claimed that "women are equal-opportunity domestic abusers" and asserted that the websites for the Department of Health &amp; Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention feature statistics "showing women and men commit domestic violence equally." In fact, the CDC reports that "[e]ach year, women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner related physical assaults and rapes" while "[m]en are the victims of about 2.9 million intimate partner related physical assaults." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711210003 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:16:35 EST
