Barack Obama's comment that "[y]ou can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig" as "a low point in the day ... and one of the low days of our collective coverage of this campaign."

Barack Obama "got all kinds of sweetheart deals with [convicted Chicago businessman Antoin] Rezko" and that "[Sen. John McCain] and his wife did not get a sweetheart deal from a fraud embezzler like Tony Rezko to buy their houses."

Barack Obama, that Obama "encourag[ed] Americans to learn Spanish over immigrants learning English." In fact, Obama said: "I agree that immigrants should learn English. ... But instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English -- they'll learn English -- you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual. We should have every child speaking more than one language." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807120001 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:43:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807110008 In a July 11 entry on The Page, Mark Halperin declared "Republicans" the "winner of the week" over Democrats without noting any of the admitted falsehoods by or controversies involving the McCain campaign over the previous week. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807110008 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:39:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130005 <em><em>Time</em></em>'s Mark Halperin reported on his blog that House Minority Leader John Boehner "use[d]" Sen.
