Norm Coleman's campaign that Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has " 'breach[ed] neutrality' by saying that the State Canvassing Board will probably consider taking up ... tossed absentee ballots" in advance of a recount in the Senate race between Coleman and Al Franken. But <em>Time</em> did not note that Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty approved of the composition of the board Ritchie named to certify the vote and oversee the recount or that a lawyer for Coleman's campaign reportedly said that the "state should feel good about who's on the panel." http://mediamatters.org/items/200811170019 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:06:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200810010018 In a blog post, Jay Carney claimed that Sen. John McCain's "campaign has released a 60-second ad that uses Bill Clinton's words to pin the blame for the mortgage crisis on Democrats" without noting that in the interview clipped in the ad, Clinton actually said that "the biggest mistake" was the SEC's repealing of a regulation on short selling, when President Bush was in office. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810010018 Wed, 1 Oct 2008 18:39:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200810010013 A <em>Time</em>/SRBI poll asked likely voters with an "unfavorable opinion" of Sen. Barack Obama to respond to various "reasons that voters give us for having an unfavorable opinion of Barack Obama," which included: "He's really a Muslim and not a Christian"; "He's an elitist who doesn't understand the needs of ordinary people"; and, "He's not as patriotic as he should be." http://mediamatters.org/items/200810010013 Wed, 1 Oct 2008 16:15:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809230017 In a Swampland blog post headlined "McCain's Legitimate Attack," Jay Carney wrote that unlike previous McCain campaign ads that included "false and distorted assaults" on Sen. Barack Obama, McCain's "new ad ... attacking Obama 'and his liberal allies' for failing to lead in the midst of the current financial markets crisis" is "entirely within bounds." In fact, the new McCain ad contains falsehoods about Obama's response to the current economic situation and his tax proposals. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200809230017 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:13:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809040007 Numerous print media outlets uncritically reported Gov. Sarah Palin's claim that Sen. Barack Obama "is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform -- not even in the state senate," without noting that Obama has played key roles in the passage of reform legislation at both the federal and state levels, including a bill that McCain co-sponsored and thanked Obama for his work on. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809040007 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 13:05:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808280015 <em>Good Morning America</em>'s Robin Roberts and Diane Sawyer echoed Republican talking points mocking the stage at Invesco Field in Denver, where Sen. Barack Obama plans to give his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for president, for including a structure with columns. But Roberts and Sawyer failed to mention that the stage at the Republican National Convention in 2004 also included columns. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808280015 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:31:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808220019 <em>Politico</em>'s Ben Smith and <em>Time</em>'s Mark Halperin uncritically reported Rush Limbaugh's baseless assertion that Sen. Barack Obama "got all kinds of sweetheart deals with [convicted Chicago businessman Antoin] Rezko" and that "[Sen. John McCain] and his wife did not get a sweetheart deal from a fraud embezzler like Tony Rezko to buy their houses." Smith and Halperin did not note that the sellers of the house Obama bought reportedly said they did not cut their asking price because Rezko bought the adjacent lot, even though they had each previously reported it. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808220019 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:42:53 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807120001 On his website, The Page, Mark Halperin uncritically reported the false accusation, which he attributed to "[c]ritics" of Sen. Barack Obama, that Obama "encourag[ed] Americans to learn Spanish over immigrants learning English." In fact, Obama said: "I agree that immigrants should learn English. ... But instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English -- they'll learn English -- you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual. We should have every child speaking more than one language." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807120001 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:43:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807110008 In a July 11 entry on The Page, Mark Halperin declared "Republicans" the "winner of the week" over Democrats without noting any of the admitted falsehoods by or controversies involving the McCain campaign over the previous week. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807110008 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:39:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806300003 <em>Time</em>'s James Carney wrote: "As any Republican will tell you, the <em>National Journal</em> ranked [Sen. Barack] Obama the most liberal member of the Senate." But Carney did not note that the <em>National Journal</em>'s rankings are based on subjective criteria. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806300003 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:01:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130005 <em><em>Time</em></em>'s Mark Halperin reported on his blog that House Minority Leader John Boehner "use[d]" Sen. Barack Obama's interview with <em>The Atlantic</em>'s Jeffrey Goldberg to "accuse Obama of calling Israel a 'constant sore.' " Halperin reported that the Obama campaign called Boehner's comments "a dishonest and ridiculous distortion" but did not note that the Obama campaign was right or provide the context for Obama's comment. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130005 Tue, 13 May 2008 15:04:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803130007 A <em>Time</em> magazine article claimed that "several diplomatic sources" who worked on the Northern Ireland peace talks "say that the women's groups" with whom Hillary Clinton engaged during the process "were not nearly as pivotal to the process as Hillary's backers maintain" and that former Sen. George Mitchell was "much more involved in those efforts." But the article failed to mention that Mitchell has said that Clinton's statements regarding her role in the peace process "are generally accurate to the extent that they have been relayed to me." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803130007 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:41:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070003 In his <em>Time</em> column, Joe Klein claimed that Sen. Barack Obama is aware of the "potential problem" of his "patriotism," as "patriotism replaced hope as a theme of his [March 4] concession speech [in Texas]." As evidence, Klein wrote that Obama "echoed John McCain in citing Abraham Lincoln, and called America 'the last best hope on Earth.' " Klein then falsely claimed: "That was the only 'hope' he mentioned -- a fascinating calibration." In fact, Obama mentioned "hope" at other points in the speech, and he has repeatedly used Lincoln's "the last best hope on Earth" line during his presidential campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070003 Fri, 7 Mar 2008 13:48:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803060006 During an Obama campaign conference call, a recording of which was posted on <em>Time</em>'s Swampland, Jay Newton-Small stated: "I just wanted to ask about your pitch to superdelegates these days and if that's changed at all. I mean, are you talking to them at all about the concerns that the Clintons might yet again burn down the Democratic Party?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200803060006 Thu, 6 Mar 2008 14:24:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802250007 <em>Time</em>'s Michael Scherer wrote that Sen. John McCain has "a set of issues that appeal to the political center," including immigration and President Bush's tax cuts, but did not note that McCain has reversed his position on immigration and his rationale for opposing the tax cuts. Scherer also asserted without explanation that the Democratic presidential candidates have been "remarkably vague" about "what to do next" concerning the war in Iraq, but did not mention that McCain has been vague about how long he believes U.S. forces should remain in Iraq, the number of troops that will be stationed in Iraq for the next 10 or 20 years, and whether the United States will have permanent bases there and a security agreement like it does with Japan and South Korea. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802250007 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:15:41 EST
