Media Matters Daily Summary

Here are today's news items from Media Matters for America, click on the title or 'read more' to read the entirety of each story. Beck's accusation that progressives have "co-opted" civil rights movement rings hollow On his Fox News show, Glenn Beck claimed that the civil rights movement "has been co-opted by progressives." However, Beck routinely uses both the civil rights movement and its rhetoric for his own political agenda, such as his claim that his August 28 rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial will "reclaim the civil rights movement." Read More Fox falsely claims government is not forecasting future movement of oil spill Fox & Friends aired a computer simulation by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) illustrating one possible scenario of the oil spill's future movement and criticized the Obama administration because the simulation "was not done by the federal government," which Steve Doocy claimed doesn't "even know where the oil's going to go in the future." In fact, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is producing daily forecasts of oil movement, and NCAR is a federally sponsored research institution. Read More Rove continues to mislead on CBO's health care estimate In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Karl Rove dubiously claimed that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found it "would cost $115 billion more than estimated." In fact, the higher cost estimate would only be spent if Congress separately appropriates it, just as Congress would have to do for any other spending bill, and moreover, the White House has said that this money would have to be offset by other cuts. Read More Strassel pushes baseless charge that White House violated Hatch Act in Sestak matter In a Wall Street Journal column, Kimberley Strassel forwarded the baseless claim that the White House violated the Hatch Act by offering a position on a panel to Rep. Joe Sestak. Indeed, both Loyola law professor Richard Hasen and former Bush ethics lawyer Richard Painter have disputed this charge. Read More Right-wing pundits ludicrously blame oil spill on environmentalists Sarah Palin and other right-wing media personalities have blamed the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on environmental activists, baselessly claiming that their opposition to coastal drilling has pushed oil companies to drill deep-water wells. This analysis ignores that deep-water regions feature vast oil reserves that make such drilling potentially lucrative. Read More CBS makes a mess of Kagan's record as Thurgood Marshall clerk On the CBS Evening News, Jan Crawford distorted memos Elena Kagan wrote as a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, falsely painting Kagan as outside the mainstream. Read More After decrying "criminalizing politics," conservative media falsely claim WH's "garden-variety politics" broke laws Conservative media have claimed the White House's controversial conversations with Rep. Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff -- which have been described by experts as "garden-variety politics" -- constituted criminal activity. But when Bush administration official Scooter Libby was investigated, tried, and convicted, conservative media decried it as "criminalizing politics."

Here are today's news items from Media Matters for America, click on the title or 'read more' to read the entirety of each story. Hannity falsely claims Romanoff "is admitting he was offered a job" to exit Senate race Sean Hannity falsely claimed that Andrew Romanoff, who is running against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado's U.S. Senate election, "is confirming just now tonight he was offered a position" if he would exit the race. In fact, Romanoff reportedly stated: "At no time was I promised a job, nor did I request [White House deputy chief of staff Jim] Messina's assistance in obtaining one." Read More Right-wing media respond to Romanoff with falsehoods, including false allegations of a crime Right-wing media have falsely claimed that the White House offered Andrew Romanoff a job in exchange for dropping out of Colorado's U.S. Senate election, and have falsely alleged or suggested that the White House committed a crime in doing so. In fact, both Romanoff and the White House have said no formal job offer was made, and legal experts have repudiated the claim that this practice would constitute a crime. Read More Media missing half the story on public attitudes about immigration policy While addressing both Arizona's controversial new immigration law and national immigration reform, media outlets have reported that polls found widespread support for Arizona's law. But these reports ignored recent national polls finding that large majorities also support providing a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants in the United States. Read More Fox attacks Obama for anti-terror rhetoric that Bush admin recommended Fox & Friends criticized the Obama administration's "new national security strategy" because it will "no longer make references to radical Islamic extremism or jihad." However, this policy is not new; indeed, Bush administration officials discouraged the use of such terms, which they said "unintentionally legitimize" violent extremists.

The nation's economy added 431,000 jobs in the month of May, and the unemployment rate dipped to 9.7 percent, the government reported Friday. That's less job growth than many expected, and will not provide a boost to the Obama Administration. The government said that 411,000 of the jobs created in May were temporary positions with the once-a-decade US Census, and not the kind of employment that can drive a sustained economic recovery. That meant that the overall private sector employment growth for the month was anemic - up by just 41,000.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed in a statement that deputy chief of staff Jim Messina approached Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff about a possible administration job. Romanoff had applied to work at USAID during the transition, Gibbs said, and Messina "wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters. … As Mr. Romanoff has stated, there was no offer of a job."
