The Media Call McCain and Palin on Their Trail of Lies

Newsday. Posted September 15, 2008.

A rundown of 25 responses in the media to McCain and Palin's
bald-faced lies from the past two weeks.

The McCain campaign has spent the last couple weeks making claims and
accusations of dubious accuracy, mocking independent fact checkers,
and telling everyone who will listen that the "media filter" doesn't
matter.

They better hope they're right, because they're getting a lot of
pushback:

The Boston Globe has a story reporting that Sarah Palin's claim to
have visited Iraq last year was false -- she only got to a Kuwait/Iraq
border station on a trip to meet Alaska guard troops. Previously, she
acknowledged that her visit to Ireland had involved changing planes.

Bloomberg reported that the campaign's estimates of crowd sizes last
week during McCain/Palin joint appearances may have been false.

On August 28, when the junior Senator from Illinois accepts his party’s
nomination to be the next President of the United States, Barack Obama
may wish to spend a few moments thanking network news reporters...

Methodology. For each story, analysts noted the topics discussed (i.e.,
Obama’s background; positions on policy issues; or his position in the
campaign "horse race"), and any soundbites discussing Obama and whether
those soundbites conveyed a clearly positive or negative evaluation of
Obama. The analysts were also instructed to record the overall "spin" of
the story, based on the cumulative information provided in the report
and any editorial evaluations made by the reporter or anchor.

You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
