  • Media continue to uncritically report McCain campaign attacks on their coverage, but case studies still show disparate coverage in McCain's favor

    Throughout the 2008 general election campaign, the mediauncritically reported complaints by Sen. John McCain's campaign that theyfavored his opponent in their coverage of the presidential race, while makinglittle attempt to assess the accuracy of those complaints or to confirm orrefute them. In September, ώm>ώm>Media Matters for America undertook a ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200809190012f=s_search" target="_blank">reviewof the media's coverage of two stories negatively affecting or reflecting onSen. Barack Obama and two stories negatively affecting or reflecting on McCainand compared the extent of media attention to each. ώm>Media Matters has since updated that review through ElectionDay, November 4. Specifically, ώm>ώm>Media Matters compared the media's coverage ofObama's association with Chicagodeveloper ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200806110007" target="_blank"Ϫntoinϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200808220007f=s_search" target="_blank">Rezkoto the media's coverage of McCain's associations with donors for whom McCainreportedly facilitated ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200805230005f=s_search" target="_blank">landdealsώm>ώm>.

In addition, the three evening network news broadcasts mentionedObama's ties to Ayers and Rezko several times, but never reported onMcCain's reported facilitation of land deals that benefited donors or hisassociation with Liddyώm>ώm>. Indeed, since ώm>ώm>The New York Times reported on April 22 that McCain facilitated land deals that benefited majordonors, these media outlets mentioned such deals in only five additional reports and one editorial. By contrast, those mediaoutlets mentioned Obama's ties to Rezko -- who was convicted in June in a casein which Obama was never accused of any wrongdoing -- in 76 network evening news broadcasts, newsreports, editorial, or opinion pieces during that same time period. Moreover,while these same media outlets mentioned Obama's ties to Ayers311 times in 2008 throughElection Day, theyproduced only five reports mentioning McCain's connections to Liddy, whomMcCain has praised and repeatedly associated with in public and in campaignsettings.

According to a ώm>ώm>Media Matters search of theNexis and Factiva databases, since ώm>ώm>The New York Times' initialApril 22 article, the land deals were mentioned in only six additional newsarticles, editorials, or opinion pieces in theώm>ώm> Los Angeles Times, ώm>ώm>The New York Times,ώm>ώm>USA Today,ώm>ώm>The Wall Street Journal,or ώm>ώm>The Washington Post,and were not mentioned on any evening network news program through ElectionDay.

Specifically:The ώm>ώm>Los Angeles Times published one news article that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, compared with nine news articles mentioning Obama's association with Rezko. ώm>ώm>The New York Times published its original April 22 news article and one editorial that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, compared with 16 news articles and two opinion pieces mentioning Obama's association with Rezko. ώm>ώm>USA Today published one news article that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, compared with three news articles mentioning Obama's association with Rezko. ώm>ώm>The Wall Street Journal did not publish a news article, editorial, or opinion piece that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, but published six news articles and nine editorials or opinion pieces mentioning Obama's association with Rezko. ώm>ώm>The Washington Post published three news articles that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, compared with 20 news articles and six editorials or opinion pieces mentioning Obama's association with Rezko. ώm>World News did not air a report that mentioned McCain-facilitated land deals, but aired three reports mentioning Obama's association with Rezko.

Lindner Jr., an associate of Sɪmp;L chief Charles H.Keating.McCain and an aide pushed for theexchange in more than a half dozen sometimes-testy letters and phone calls upand down the Forest Service's hierarchy, according to former agency officialsand correspondence. McCain's office even circulated draft legislation thatwould have overridden the agency's objection to surrendering national forestland. Ultimately, the deal fell apart.McCain's behind-the-scenesmaneuvering on Spur Cross contrasts with his image as a congressional ethicschampion and his pledge --made after the Keating scandal in 1991 sullied his reputation -- never to intervene with regulators again.McClatchy further reported that"the 89-year-old Lindner and his son,Carl H.

  • Alaska court says "Trooper Gate" inquiry to continue

    Washington, Oct.10 ANI: Alaska's Supreme Court has said that the ethics investigation into Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, in connection with the "Trooper Gate" inquiry, will continue.The decision Thursday sets the stage for state lawmakers to release a report on their investigation Friday, and according to a CBS report, could prove to be an embarrassment for Palin and a distraction for John McCain's presidential campaign in the final weeks of the race.Lawmakers are investigating whether Palin abused her power to settle a family dispute. Her former public safety commissioner says he was dismissed after resisting pressure to fire a state trooper, Mike Wooten, who had gone through nasty divorce from Palin's sister.Republican lawmakers had sued to block the report, saying it had become politicized. Palin's husband and top aides said in affidavits that the governor remained in the dark. Todd Palin is said to have repeatedly asked top state officials to help get his former brother-in-law kicked off the state police force.The affidavits filed with investigators late Wednesday will probably help Palin's defense that the firing was not a tit-for-tat, but they also portray her as uninvolved while her husband met repeatedly with her aides about family affairs.Governor Palin's special assistant, Ivy Frye, said she was distraught when she was told about the situation, even as Republican lawmakers argued Wednesday before the state Supreme Court that the legislative inquiry should be shut down and the report not released. Palin is not a part of that lawsuit. The state's personnel board also is looking into the matter and Palin has said she feels that inquiry is more appropriate. The Supreme Court said it would rule promptly but did not say when. ANI

  • Chinese defense ministry condemns US arms sales to Taiwan

    Beijing, Oct.10 ANI: The United States' decision to sell arms to Taiwan has been strongly condemned by the Chinese defence ministry,Huang Xueping, a spokesman of the Chinese Defense Ministry, reacting to Pentagon spokesman Stuart Upton's remarks on Monday that Washington's arms sales were consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act, said: "We are strongly dissatisfied and opposed to the Pentagon spokesman's remarks. The so-called 'Taiwan Relations Act' severely ran counter to the principles of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués and the fundamental norms governing international relations."He added the United States had no right to place domestic law above international ones, or use it as an excuse to sell weapons to Taiwan."The U.S. side carped at China's righteous national defense building, which was totally confounding right and wrong to mislead the public," said the spokesman.He said China firmly takes the road of peaceful development and follows an independent foreign policy of peace and a national defense policy that is defensive in nature.Concerning bilateral military ties, he said China has made positive and concerted efforts over the years to strengthen military exchanges with the United States. The U.S. side should take full responsibilities for the current situation."The spokesman also called on the United States to abide by its commitments for China on the Taiwan issue, cancel relevant arms sale programs to Taiwan immediately and cut off military ties with the island, to prevent harming the overall bilateral military ties.

  • Diet session in September

    Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has announced that an extraordinary Diet session will convene in mid-September. Mr. Fukuda wanted to call the Diet session in late August, but Komeito, a junior partner in the ruling coalition, insisted on late September. Mr. Fukuda's compromise shows that his leadership is eroding. Mr. Fukuda hopes to have the Diet adopt measures to prop up the economy, pass a law revision to extend the Maritime Self-Defense Force's refueling operations in the Indian Ocean for naval ships of the United States and other nations engaged in antiterrorism operations, and enact a law to establish a Consumer Agency.
