John McCain as a maverick, without noting his own role in promoting that reputation or noting McCain's rightward shift on high-profile issues or acknowledging his numerous falsehoods. Harwood has also frequently referred to McCain as a maverick while reporting on the primary and general election campaigns for NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808070001 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 12:31:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806100012 <em>The New York Post </em>reported CNBC host Maria Bartiromo's assertion that Sen. Barack Obama would "take the capital gains tax at 15 percent right now all the way up to 25 to 28 percent." The <em>Post</em> further quoted Bartiromo: "Sell anything, like a home or stocks, and make a profit ... [almost] 30 percent of the profit will go to the government instead of 15' " [brackets in original]. But Bartiromo's suggestion that the entire profit on the sale of a house is always subject to tax is false; single homeowners can exempt up to $250,000 in gains realized from the sale of an owner-occupied home from capital gains taxes, and married homeowners can in most cases exempt up to $500,000. <em>Politico</em>'s Mike Allen uncritically reprinted the <em>Post </em>report of Bartiromo's comments in its entirety. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806100012 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:52:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130001 A <em><em>New York Times</em></em> article detailed the connection between numerous media military analysts and the Pentagon and defense industries, reporting that "the Bush administration has used its control over access and information in an effort to transform" media military analysts "into a kind of media Trojan horse -- an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks." A <em>Media Matters </em>review found that since January 1, 2002, the analysts named in the <em>Times</em> article -- many identified as having ties to the defense industry -- collectively appeared or were quoted as experts more than 4,500 times on ABC, ABC News Now, CBS, CBS Radio Network, NBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, and NPR. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130001 Tue, 13 May 2008 08:25:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100011 Moderator Chris Matthews asserted during the October 9 Republican presidential debate, "Polls show that Republicans are known as the party of national security and of moral values." But recent polling shows Democrats either tied or at a slight advantage against Republicans on the issue of national security, as well as holding an advantage in sharing voters' moral values. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100011 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:47:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710100008 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:30:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710090007 During the October 9 Republican presidential debate, MSNBC's Chris Matthews and CNBC's Maria Bartitomo did not challenge Rudy Giuliani's claim that Sen. Hillary Clinton "once said that the unfettered free market is the most destructive force in modern America." In fact, in a 1996 interview, Clinton said she agreed with the quote, "The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710090007 Tue, 9 Oct 2007 19:26:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310001 On <em>Kudlow &amp; Co.</em>, Larry Kudlow allowed Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani to mischaracterize two statements by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to portray her as being opposed to free markets. In fact, in one instance, Clinton went on to say that "there is no greater force for economic growth than free markets," and in the other, she said that "the market is the driving force behind our prosperity." http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310001 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:53:10 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702100005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702100005 Fri, 9 Feb 2007 20:47:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701160013 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701160013 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:39:34 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310021 Numerous news outlets -- including the <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, ABC, CNN, and CNBC -- uncritically reported President Bush's false claim that Democrats oppose "listening to," "detaining," "questioning," and "trying the terrorists." In fact, Democrats have repeatedly acknowledged the need to eavesdrop on, detain, question, and try terrorists, while objecting to specific Bush administration antiterrorism policies that they consider to be violations of current U.S. or international law, or unwarranted expansions of presidential powers. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610310021 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 18:42:08 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609060003 Several members of the media have complied with the Bush administration's efforts to rebrand the "global war on terror" by adopting the administration's newest catchphrase: Islamic fascism. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609060003 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 12:19:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608110007 On CNBC's <em>Kudlow &amp; Company</em>, Ann Coulter objected to host Lawrence Kudlow's assertion that the Iraq war is widely unpopular, claiming: "All objective evidence is that it isn't." Coulter cited the "[v]ast support for the war" shown in polling from "throughout 2002 and before we went in." However, Coulter then dismissed current polling demonstrating the war's unpopularity. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608110007 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:26:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605080005 On <em>Meet the Press</em>, Tim Russert cited a flawed AP article, which omitted key facts that undermined its suggested connection between Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, in order to link Reid to "money from Jack Abramoff." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605080005 Mon, 8 May 2006 13:23:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604270005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200604270005 Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:45:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200604210002 On <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, <em>Newsweek</em> managing editor Jon Meacham echoed Bill O'Reilly's previous assertion that secular forces have declared "war" on the Christian observances of Christmas and Easter. But on CNBC's <em>Tim Russert</em>, Meacham apparently backtracked, stating that he found it "hard[] to understand" the complaints of those who say that "[t]here's a war on Christianity in this country." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604210002 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 11:08:51 EST
