John McCain's campaign that Sen. Barack Obama "voted against funds for American troops in harm's way." However, none of these outlets noted that McCain himself has voted against legislation to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor did they mention that Obama has voted in the past to provide funds for troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808290004 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:51:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808150005 <em>The Denver Post</em>, ABC News, and <em>The Washington Post</em> all uncritically reported that Sen. John McCain, during an August 14 appearance in Aspen, Colorado, responded to criticism that he had changed his position on President Bush's tax cuts by stating he originally opposed them because they were not accompanied by spending reductions. None of these outlets noted that when McCain voted against the tax cuts in 2001, the reason he gave in his Senate floor statement was not that they were not accompanied by spending cuts but, rather, that "so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief." http://mediamatters.org/items/200808150005 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:22:19 EST
