CNN's Ferré advances claim that Obama is "joining Bolivia, Venezuela, and Nicaragua" on Honduras CNN's Ines Ferré advanced the conservative claim that President Obama is siding with Latin American leaders in opposing Manuel Zelaya's ouster in Honduras, without noting that the European Union and the UN secretary-general have also condemned the ouster. Read More CQ ignores Sessions' previous call for speedy Supreme Court confirmation process CQ Today reported that Sen. Jeff Sessions said Republicans "might throw up procedural roadblocks to delay" Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearing, but did not note that Sessions reportedly called for fast action on Justice Samuel Alito's confirmation process. Read More Palin, the press, and her "no más" moment Like frustrated welterweight Roberto Duran, who stunned the sporting world by walking away, mid-bout, from his 1980 prize fight against Sugar Ray Leonard with the memorable, muttered Spanish phrase for "no more," Sarah Palin's decision last week to walk away, mid-term, from her governorship stunned Beltway spectators and left bewildered Alaskans scratching their heads in amazement. Read More Wash. Post column cites inapplicable CBO assessment to claim public plan option has "huge cost, minor benefit" Geoff Colvin falsely suggested that a CBO estimate of the Senate HELP Committee's health care bill demonstrated that a public option would come at a "huge cost" for a "minor benefit" in the number insured. Read More Scarborough, Bartiromo falsely inflate WH economic growth assumptions Joe Scarborough and Maria Bartiromo falsely claimed that the Obama administration is predicting that the economy will grow at a rate of 4 percent in 2010 and, Scarborough added, "over the next decade."

Read More To New York-centric Hannity, a cool June in Central Park means Gore is wrong about global warming Sean Hannity claimed, "This is the coolest June on record, the eighth coolest, and they're going back to the 1800s."

Read More After just four months, media figures ignore economists to declare stimulus a failure Media figures have used a recent comment by Vice President Biden -- that the Obama administration "misread how bad the economy was" -- to suggest that the economic recovery package is a complete failure, rather than noting the assessment by economists then and now that the legislation does not go far enough and that further stimulus spending may be necessary.
