'Liberal Media' Gone Wild

From today's Media Matters:
Reports on Bush admin. review of UAE port deal failed to mention Rumsfeld "just heard about this over the weekend"
The New York Times, Washington Post, and LA Times all failed to note an inconsistency in the administration's account: that Secretary Rumsfeld, a key member of the committee reviewing the deal, said that he possessed "minimal information" about the deal because he had just heard about it. It follows, then, that none of those reports raised the question of how the CFIUS could have approved the deal if at least one of its members had never heard of it.

On Hannity & Colmes, Manhattan Institute senior fellow John McWhorter claimed that the poverty rate of African-American minors has decreased "ever since 1996," a trend he credited to "the Republican party, who created welfare reform."

O'Reilly has previously called those advocating immediate withdrawal from Iraq "pinheads" and compared them to Hitler appeasers.
