Joe Biden will have to soften his tone and manner in a debate against Gov. Sarah Palin, in contrast with the tougher tone he could take if the Republican vice-presidential nominee were male. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809010011 Mon, 1 Sep 2008 16:31:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806090007 The <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> reported that Sen. John McCain spoke out against "land swaps, worthless land for valuable land" in connection with the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and that "McCain is still a watchdog when it comes to federal spending, but he is a supporter of Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics, said his spokesman, Tucker Bounds." But the article did not note that McCain has himself reportedly facilitated land-swap deals that benefited wealthy developers who were major McCain donors. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806090007 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 16:40:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200004 Several media figures have falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama contradicted previous statements when he said during a March 18 speech on race: "Did I ever hear him [Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor] make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes." In fact, Obama previously asserted he had not been present for particular statements Wright made that were repeated by various media outlets and that spurred the recent controversy. He did not claim to have never heard Wright make "remarks that could be considered controversial." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200004 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:42:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802210004 The <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> uncritically reported Sen. John McCain's assertion that Sen. Barack Obama is "the most liberal Democrat in the United States Senate." However, the <em>Sun-Times</em> made no mention of the fact that the <em>National Journal</em>, which ranked Obama "the most liberal senator in 2007," said that McCain "did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802210004 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:22:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802050002 <em>Media Matters for America</em> has identified numerous media outlets or figures who reported that the <em>National Journal</em> has rated Sen. Barack Obama "the most liberal senator in 2007," but did not report that the same <em>National Journal </em>feature stated that Sen. John McCain "did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score. He missed more than half of the votes in both the economic and foreign-policy categories." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802050002 Tue, 5 Feb 2008 12:46:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801030008 <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> columnist Jennifer Hunter listed several "criticisms" that have been leveled against Sen. Barack Obama since he launched his presidential campaign, including "Obama's relationship with indicted Wilmette businessman Tony Rezko, who had helped launch his political career; the veracity of characters in his autobiography, <em>Dreams from My Father</em>; and some of his personal investments, which relied to some extent on federal-government funding." However, Hunter did not discuss key facts that call into question the legitimacy of these "criticisms" of Obama. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801030008 Thu, 3 Jan 2008 18:41:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708220002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708220002 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:20:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707090006 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 19:33:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705010001 Tue, 1 May 2007 12:25:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704300010 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 16:12:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701300007 On January 17, InsightMag.com posted a story stating that Sen. Barack Obama attended a madrassa as a boy and that this information had originated from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp. With the aid of the conservative media, InsightMag.com's anonymously sourced report turned into 11 days of baseless accusations against two leading contenders for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200701300007 Tue, 30 Jan 2007 15:14:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610100013 Newspaper editorial boards have responded with a variety of opinions to the Mark Foley scandal, from calling for -- or opposing -- House Speaker Dennis Hastert's resignation to noting the "rank hypocrisy" of Republican leaders to referring to the Republicans' attempt to use a "gay scapegoat." http://mediamatters.org/items/200610100013 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:51:00 EST
