Barack Obama: "[I]t plays into a stereotype about the left wing of the Democratic Party, that it blames America first, that they don't see the greatness of America." Echoing Reed, host John Gibson later asked, "Does that mean that President Barack will blame America first?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200802200008 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 19:10:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130015 On <em>The Big Story</em>, Ralph Reed repeated the false claim that Sen. Barack Obama "has said that he will embrace [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad," a claim President Bush made recently on <em>Fox News Sunday</em>, which was not challenged by Chris Wallace. John Gibson did not rebut Reed's assertion. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802130015 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:37:23 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801080008 While discussing a recent campaign event during which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's voice broke as she talked about why she is seeking the presidency, several media figures described Clinton's actions as "calculated," reviving a characterization frequently made by the media that Clinton is "calculating." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801080008 Tue, 8 Jan 2008 17:38:56 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711210005 On <em>The Big Story</em>, a full-screen graphic appeared showing a picture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the phrases "THE WAR ON ENGLISH!" "Just 'Say No' to America's Language" and "Why?" Throughout most of the segment, a graphic appeared in the lower right corner of the screen showing an image of Pelosi's face alternating with the phrase "SPEAK SPANISH." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711210005 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:31:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310006 Fox News' John Gibson criticized an "NBC news anchor" -- identified by guest Monica Crowley as MSNBC host Chris Matthews -- for offering Sen. Barack Obama advice on what he "needs to say" to beat Sen. Hillary Clinton, asking, "Is it legitimate for one news anchor to publicly advise one candidate on how to beat another, and still try to pretend he's objective and neutral? My friends, fair and balanced this is not." But the day before, Gibson had offered his own advice to Obama on how to go after Clinton, asserting: "I think if Obama is going to close the gap with Hillary, he needs a new attack." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310006 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:31:09 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050007 Fri, 5 Oct 2007 15:57:41 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030006 On <em>The Big Story</em>, discussing Rush Limbaugh's recent "phony soldiers" comments, Jonah Goldberg asserted: "I've never heard actually a conservative basically flat-out deny the patriotism of the opposition." In fact, Limbaugh himself has done so. For instance, on his August 23, 2005, radio show, Limbaugh said, "It's time for somebody to tell the people on the left, you're damn right we're questioning your patriotism." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030006 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:54:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709270015 Fox News' John Gibson called the controversy over Bill O'Reilly's recent remarks a "fabricated flap over some benign remarks Bill made on his radio show, but it has been turned on its ear by George Soros' <em>Media Matters,</em>" which is "dedicated to discrediting conservatives and folks like Bill" through "the purposeful misinterpretation of one's words." Gibson did not support his claim that <em>Media Matters</em> "misinterpret[ed]" O'Reilly's words; moreover, Soros has never given money to <em>Media Matters.</em> http://mediamatters.org/items/200709270015 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 15:53:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709010002 In recent days, NBC, CNN, and Fox News have all aired reports or discussed the case of Norman Hsu, who <em>The</em> <em>Wall Street Journal </em>suggested may have funneled illegal campaign contributions to Sen. Hillary Clinton. However, when Mitt Romney's national finance committee co-chairman Alan Fabian was charged with mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice, the three networks did not report or discuss it during programs available in the Nexis database. http://mediamatters.org/items/200709010002 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 20:24:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708020011 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708020011 Thu, 2 Aug 2007 19:38:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707030007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707030007 Tue, 3 Jul 2007 15:20:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706010003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706010003 Fri, 1 Jun 2007 13:45:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705230010 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705230010 Wed, 23 May 2007 19:41:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705140007 In a recent article, London-based magazine <em>Environment Finance</em> reported that Rupert Murdoch will take steps "to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from his media empire" -- which includes Fox News Channel -- "to zero by 2010." However, in addition to Fox News' Sean Hannity and John Gibson, FoxNews.com posts have directly attacked the purchasing of carbon credits to offset one's "carbon footprint" and have mocked Al Gore's reported use of them. http://mediamatters.org/items/200705140007 Mon, 14 May 2007 17:53:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704170001 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 20:37:34 EST
