These media figures ignore evidence that, according to prominent economists, economic conditions were improving in Japan before the Japanese government temporarily abandoned stimulus spending in an attempt to reduce the deficit. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200812220005 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:03:11 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809190021 On September 18, Fox News' Neil Cavuto conflated giving home mortgages to minorities with risky lending practices, suggesting that there should have been "a clarion call that said, 'Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Loaning to minorities and risky folks is a disaster.' " http://mediamatters.org/items/200809190021 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:28:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809020014 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto did not challenge Rep. Michelle Bachmann's false claim that "[w]e didn't have any spillage whatsoever from the oil rigs during Katrina." In fact, a report prepared for the federal government by an international consulting firm identified damage from Hurricane Katrina to 27 platforms and rigs that resulted in the spilling of approximately 2,843 barrels of petroleum products into the Gulf of Mexico. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809020014 Tue, 2 Sep 2008 15:18:04 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808290022 Since Sen. John McCain named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, media outlets including the Associated Press, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, the <em>Detroit Free-Press</em>, and the washingtonpost.com blog The Fix have taken the "maverick" label the media have frequently and uncritically applied to McCain and affixed it to Palin as well. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808290022 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:46:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808210007 Fox News' Neil Cavuto interviewed "anti-feminist attorney" Roy Den Hollander, who discussed his lawsuit against Columbia University for offering a women's studies program "but not a men's studies program." Den Hollander said: "[C]ut out the feminazi, feminist women's studies programs and bring back varsity sports, and you're going to do a lot better for the university." Den Hollander later said that women "are a suspect class. Every time they open their mouths, I begin to suspect something." http://mediamatters.org/items/200808210007 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:36:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200808070008 Echoing <em>The Washington Post</em>'s Dana Milbank, Fox News' Neil Cavuto repeated as fact a disputed version of a comment Sen. Barack Obama reportedly made in a closed-door meeting with congressional Democrats, citing it as purported evidence that Obama's "messianic thing is getting a little over the top." http://mediamatters.org/items/200808070008 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 17:12:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807250012 On Fox News, David Asman falsely claimed of Sen. Barack Obama's reported plans for a White House transition months before the November election: "It's never been done before." Similarly, on <em>MSNBC Live</em>, <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report's</em> Kenneth Walsh asserted that Obama is preparing for taking office "very early, and it plays into this notion that the Republicans are talking about, about Obama being too arrogant, that he has sort of a sense of inevitability that has set in there." However, a <em>Media Matters </em>review confirms that Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter all planned for a White House transition months before the election. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807250012 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:24:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807240002 Fox News' Stuart Varney misrepresented the cost of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, falsely asserting that the "House, right now, [is] voting on that $300 billion housing bailout bill." During the segment, on-air captions read "$300B Bailout Bill," and "House Voting On $300B Housing Bailout Bill." In fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill "would increase budget deficits (or reduce future surpluses) by about $24.9 billion over the 2008-2018 period." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807240002 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:21:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020006 Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling asserted that, according to offshore oil "drillers" with whom he had spoken, "China was probably drilling offshore, very close to our shore through Cuba, and taking some of that oil that -- that honestly could -- could and should be helping our situation." His assertion that China was drilling "very close to our shore" echoed a claim made by Vice President Dick Cheney -- citing columnist George Will -- that both Cheney and Will have since corrected. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020006 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:06:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806040009 On <em>Your World</em>, Dick Morris claimed that Antoin Rezko sold Sen. Barack Obama a strip of land "for an amount that was substantially below its apparent market value." However, according to documents posted on the Obama campaign website, Obama paid $104,166 for the piece of property -- well above its appraised value of $40,500. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806040009 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 19:16:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806020005 On <em>The O'Reilly Factor</em>, Marc Rudov said men should boycott the Sex and the City movie and would not see it because "paying to hear women whine is as stupid as paying for cobwebs, because you can get them both at home for free." When Bill O'Reilly asked Margaret Hoover whether she believed "that most American women are as shallow as" the four main characters in the movie, Rudov interrupted: "I do." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806020005 Mon, 2 Jun 2008 18:35:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300007 Fox News' Neil Cavuto left unchallenged a false claim by Vets For Freedom chairman Pete Hegseth that Sen. Barack Obama has "never met with General Petraeus." In fact, as recently as April 8, Obama questioned Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker at a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing on Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300007 Fri, 30 May 2008 18:05:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 On Fox News' <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto reported on Sen. John McCain's rejection of Rev. John Hagee's endorsement, but he didn't note Hagee's remarks about Adolf Hitler and Zionism or that McCain admitted he sought Hagee's endorsement. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230001 Fri, 23 May 2008 11:09:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Fox News' Neil Cavuto misrepresented the projected cost of a federal "housing rescue package" by saying it was going to cost "300 billion bucks," while an on-air graphic read, "House lawmakers set to pass $300B housing bill; bailout?" In fact, while the legislation would authorize the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in homeownership retention loans, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the program would cost the government $2.7 billion between 2008-2013. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805080009 Thu, 8 May 2008 18:38:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 On <em>Your World</em>, Neil Cavuto said of Sen. Barack Obama: "Well, one of the reasons why he espoused talking to our enemies -- much as Jimmy Carter has with his recent meeting with Hamas and all that -- is that we can't make things worse, so what's the harm in talking to them?" Contrary to Cavuto's suggestion that Obama has expressed a willingness to meet with Hamas, Reuters reported on March 3 that Obama "has said he would break with President George W. Bush's stance of declining to talk to some other international adversaries but that stance does not apply to Hamas." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010006 Thu, 1 May 2008 16:16:01 EST
