Barack Obama had taken a "cheap shot" at Sen. John McCain during the presidential debate, CNN's Bill Schneider wrote: "McCain almost certainly misspoke when he said he wouldn't speak with Spain. ... I am not sure that's a fair thing for Obama to call him on." In fact, McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann reportedly wrote that "there is no doubt Senator McCain knew exactly to whom the question referred" and that McCain in fact "refused to commit to a White House meeting with President Zapatero." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809270004 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:26:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808220012 CNN's Bill Schneider asserted that "[t]here are some Jewish voters who still have questions about Barack Obama," and that Sen. Joe Lieberman's speaking role at the RNC "could be a way of drawing some Jewish voters over to the Republican ticket." But Schneider made no mention of a poll released in mid-July that found that 48 percent of Jews have a negative opinion of Lieberman, with 37 percent holding a favorable view. In contrast, the same survey found that 60 percent have a favorable view of Obama, while 34 percent view him unfavorably. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808220012 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:23:10 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710290006 CNN's <em>The Situation Room</em> has reported several times on Sen. John McCain's attacks on Sen. Hillary Clinton's support for a $1 million earmark for a museum at the site of the original 1969 Woodstock music festival. But in none of its reports did CNN note that, although McCain is listed as a co-sponsor of the amendment to remove the funding for the museum, he missed the vote on the earmark. http://mediamatters.org/items/200710290006 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:47:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709120004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709120004 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:59:27 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708130002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708130002 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:24:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707160002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707160002 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:53:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707050001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707050001 Thu, 5 Jul 2007 12:45:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705240005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705240005 Thu, 24 May 2007 15:13:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705050004 CNN's Bill Schneider falsely suggested that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had changed her position on the Iraq war during the past week because she announced her intention to introduce a bill "to sunset the authorization for the war in Iraq." However, Clinton introduced a bill in the Senate on February 16 that includes a provision that would "require a new authorization for use of United States military forces in Iraq" unless certain conditions are met. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200705050004 Fri, 4 May 2007 21:14:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704180001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704180001 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:49:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703290004 CNN's Bill Schneider asserted that Sen. Barack Obama has made what "look like rookie mistakes" after airing a clip of a journalist noting that Obama's memoir "has composite characters, made-up dialogue, and he switched names of many of the characters in it. So, when you read it, you're not sure what's true and what's not." However, Obama acknowledged changes he made when he wrote the book -- more than 10 years ago. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200703290004 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 14:32:23 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702140004 CNN's Bill Schneider said that Rudy Giuliani "seems to be modifying his views ever so slightly," including on abortion rights. But Schneider did not mention Giuliani's recent shift on "partial-birth abortion" or his reported reversal on abortion rights in general in 1989. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200702140004 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:53:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701240001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701240001 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:47:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701230012 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701230012 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 18:48:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611210010 Even though Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate without losing a single seat -- an electoral feat last accomplished in 1938 -- the media have not highlighted this achievement in the two weeks after Election Day. But when Republicans gained seats in both the House and Senate in the 2002 midterm elections, the first time since 1934 a president's party had done so during its first midterm election, news outlets praised it as "remarkable" and "historic." http://mediamatters.org/items/200611210010 Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:43:49 EST
