Absent from numerous reports and discussions on Fox News is the argument made by proponents of EFCA that under the current system, employers often fire union supporters and pressure employees to vote against unionizing. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811260003 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:08:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811170006 On Fox News' <em>The Beltway Boys,</em> co-host Fred Barnes echoed the discredited rumor that ballots in the Minnesota Senate race were mishandled, stating: "We've seen, under some questionable circumstances, Franken gaining, you know, 32 ballots from the trunk of somebody's car that had been sitting there for a few days. I mean, I find that a bit suspicious." In fact, state officials have refuted rumors that the ballots were handled improperly, and a lawyer for Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign, who initially raised questions about those ballots, reportedly said afterward that he had been assured the ballots were not tampered with. http://mediamatters.org/items/200811170006 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:33:09 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803170006 On Fox News' <em>Special Report</em>, Fred Barnes said of Sen. John McCain's role in a controversial Air Force tanker contract: "He asked for the Air Force to take into consideration, which he thought the Air Force regulations required, aircraft -- taking into consideration maximizing cargo and passenger capacity, which are important in a supertanker. Well, they did. And now Northrop Grumman and Airbus won the contract." But McCain also reportedly urged the Defense Department to not consider the potential implications of a World Trade Organization dispute between the United States and the European Union over whether Airbus and Boeing received illegal subsidies for commercial airliners from their respective governments. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803170006 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:53:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802030004 <em>Weekly Standard</em> executive editor Fred Barnes stated on Fox News' <em>The Beltway Boys</em> that "MoveOn.org -- which hates the war, hates the military, hates America -- endorsed [Sen.
