Dennis Kucinich's speech at the Democratic National Convention with clips of Adolf Hitler saying, "Sieg Heil." Afterward, Medved stated of Kucinich's speech that "[e]verything was there except for 'Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer,' " a reference to the Nazi slogan meaning "one people, one empire, one leader." http://mediamatters.org/items/200808280016 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:53:29 EST Beck falsely claimed Dem candidates have not supported striking writers http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250004 On his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck repeatedly suggested that the top Democratic presidential candidates have not shown support for the ongoing Writers Guild strike. In fact, all of the Democratic front-runners have expressed support for the striking writers. John Edwards joined them on a Los Angeles picket line, and Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton each issued statements of support for the writers. The candidates also withdrew from a planned December 10 CBS News debate, forcing its cancellation. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250004 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:13:16 EST Kurtz misrepresented Obama's 2004 remark on Iraq war stance http://mediamatters.org/items/200801140002 On Reliable Sources, Howard Kurtz claimed that in a 2004 Chicago Tribune article, Sen. Barack Obama "said there wasn't much difference between his position and George Bush's position on the [Iraq] war." But Kurtz left out three key words from Obama's quote in the Tribune -- "at this stage" -- as well as the context of the remarks, both of which indicate that Obama was discussing how best to stabilize Iraq from mid-2004 onward, not claiming agreement with Bush on the war itself. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801140002 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:49:06 EST White House soirée, part deux: Beck, Bennett, Ingraham, Medved, and others met with Bush http://mediamatters.org/items/200708030001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708030001 Thu, 2 Aug 2007 20:20:09 EST Conservative media tout flawed poll to call Dems 9-11 conspiracy theorists http://mediamatters.org/items/200705160001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705160001 Tue, 15 May 2007 20:00:30 EST Dobson and Medved warned of purported pro-gay "subtext" in Happy Feet http://mediamatters.org/items/200612150002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200612150002 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 11:24:26 EST Conservatives attack animated penguin movie as global-warming propaganda http://mediamatters.org/items/200611300004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611300004 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:53:28 EST "War on Penguins" rages on in Medved's USA Today op-ed http://mediamatters.org/items/200611290008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611290008 Wed, 29 Nov 2006 13:04:29 EST On Reliable Sources, Medved cited two CNN specials that attacked Dems to baselessly claim CNN has "taken a very clear side and the side has been anti-[Bush] administration" http://mediamatters.org/items/200610240002 Michael Medved claimed that two recent CNN specials, Broken Government and War on the Middle Class, are evidence that CNN "has been anti-[Bush] administration." In fact, both specials included criticism of and attacks on Democrats. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610240002 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 20:16:50 EST Medved: "[T]he subject of my conversation with the president of the United States" was that "Islam, as a faith, as a culture, as a vision of civilization" has "a special violence problem" http://mediamatters.org/items/200609200004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609200004 Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:43:01 EST On Reliable Sources, Kurtz highlighted Medved's criticism of Democrats to suggest "liberal hypocrisy" in response to The Path to 9/11, ignored possibility of "hypocrisy" by Medved and other conservatives http://mediamatters.org/items/200609110007 On CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz suggested that "liberal hypocrisy" was inherent in Democrats' objections to ABC's "docudrama" The Path to 9/11. Kurtz highlighted radio host Michael Medved's criticism of Democratic objections to the film and appeared to adopt Medved's assertion that Democrats are seeking to "censor" the film. But Kurtz neglected to discuss the "hypocrisy" in the reaction to the film by some conservatives -- including Medved. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609110007 Mon, 11 Sep 2006 17:05:32 EST Scarborough, Medved, Bozell contradicted past criticism of The Reagans biopic to defend The Path to 9/11 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609090004 Joe Scarborough, Michael Medved, and Brent Bozell defended the upcoming ABC miniseries The Path to 9/11, which is reportedly riddled with outright falsehoods and distortions. But their defense seems to contradict statements they made in 2003 when conservatives pressured CBS not to run a biopic that critics felt portrayed former President Ronald Reagan and former first lady Nancy Reagan in a negative light. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609090004 Fri, 8 Sep 2006 21:30:39 EST Medved on CNN: "Michael Moore has done far more damage to the Jewish community ... than anything Mel Gibson has ever done" http://mediamatters.org/items/200608050002 While defending Mel Gibson on CNN's Paula Zahn Now, conservative radio host Michael Medved declared that "Michael Moore has done far more damage to the Jewish community, particularly regarding the issue of Israel, than anything Mel Gibson has ever done." http://mediamatters.org/items/200608050002 Fri, 4 Aug 2006 20:32:35 EST
