Media Matters - Bloomberg News, WSJ op-ed blame Obama for stock drop, ignore longer-term trend:
"In a March 6 news article headline, Bloomberg referred to the 'Obama Bear Market,' and The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed on the same day with the headline 'Obama's Radicalism is Killing the Dow.' In fact, the market has been on a decline since October 2007, and, as the Financial Times' Dan McCrum said, 'it's the economy which is driving the market down here' and that 'what's important is that President Obama doesn't try to address that in the short term. He's quite right that short-term market movements aren't -- shouldn't be driving government policy. What he needs to do is concentrate on fixing the economy, and the market will sort itself out.'In a March 6 news article headline, Bloomberg referred to the 'Obama Bear Market,' and The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed on the same day with the headline 'Obama's Radicalism is Killing the Dow.'

Media Matters - Limbaugh runs with homeless-cell phone smear
Discussing a photo of Michelle Obama at a homeless shelter that featured a man photographing Obama using a cell phone, Rush Limbaugh said, "[T]he homeless and the poor are showing up taking pictures of her with their cell phones." But homeless advocates have stated that cell phones are a "lifeline" for the homeless and noted the importance of having a stable phone number in trying to find jobs.
