Barney Frank allowed his relationship in the 1990s with Herb Moses, a Fannie Mae official at the time, to improperly influence his conduct as a member of the House Financial Services Committee. However, in his article, Sammon cited only an anonymous Republican congressional staffer and a member of the conservative Media Research Center. Sammon also misrepresented Frank's record by reporting that Frank "spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations" on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac without noting that during the period in question, Frank supported legislation to <em>increase</em> regulation of Fannie Mae and create a government regulatory agency that would oversee some aspects of the company. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810080023 Wed, 8 Oct 2008 18:25:10 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710270001 A FoxNews.com article reported that allegations against the Clintons made by Peter F. Paul -- a lawyer and businessman who has been convicted of fraud -- in the purported documentary "Hillary Uncensored" include an accusation that the Clintons "made sure Paul was kept in a Brazilian prison for 25 months, including 58 days in a maximum security cellblock nicknamed the 'Corridor of Death,' while the Justice Department waited to extradite him." In the trailer, Paul is not shown alleging that the Clintons "made sure" he "was kept in a Brazilian prison," but he does suggest a connection between his filing of a civil lawsuit against the Clintons and his detention in a Brazilian jail. In fact, Paul was indicted after Bill Clinton left office, and, according to the U.S. attorney's office that indicted him, Paul was arrested in Brazil because he refused to return to the United States. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710270001 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 21:38:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710220005 Several media outlets seized on an article in <em>The Atlantic</em> that mentioned that former President Bill and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gave their family cat, Socks, to Betty Currie -- with one outlet questioning whether Currie's adoption of Socks reveals Hillary Clinton to be "cold and calculating." But these media outlets made no mention of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's reported treatment of his own family pet, Seamus, an Irish setter, whom Romney reportedly placed "in a dog carrier" that was "attached ... to the station wagon's roof rack" during the Romney family's "annual 12-hour family trek from Boston to Ontario." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710220005 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:15:37 EST
