All rights reserved. {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Rather than noting immigration reversal, Todd claimed McCain "is not getting votes that his record deserves" from Hispanics During an interview with McCain campaign manager Rick Davis on the September 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe in which Davis touted Sen. John McCain as differing from his party in his support for immigration reform, at no point did NBC News political director Chuck Todd note that McCain reversed himself on a key component of immigration reform, aligning himself more closely with the base of his party. Todd asked Davis if he is "worried the numbers are showing that Senator McCain is performing worse among Hispanics than President Bush," and added moments later: "He is not getting votes that his record deserves." Davis replied, in part: "Look what we did as a party. For the last two years, we've told Hispanic voters that we don't want immigration from the southern border. ... There's been a nativist discussion in this country that has hurt our party's ability to attract Hispanic voters." Todd then asked, "Anything to change it?" Davis replied: "The only one in our party who can do that and set it right is John McCain." However, at no point during the discussion did Todd mention that, under pressure from the Republican base, McCain reversed himself on a key component of immigration reform, and now says that "we've got to secure the borders first" -- a position at odds with his prior assertion that border security could not be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration reform without being rendered ineffective. A November 4, 2007, Associated Press article reporting on McCain's reversal noted that McCain now "emphasizes securing the borders first," and also quoted McCain stating: "I understand why you would call it a, quote, shift. ... I say it is a lesson learned about what the American people's priorities are. And their priority is to secure the borders." McCain also stated during a January 30 Republican presidential primary debate that he would not support the immigration reform bill he co-sponsored with Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) if it came to a vote on the Senate floor. In a March 3 New York Times article, Elisabeth Bumiller wrote, "Senator John McCain likes to present himself as the candidate of the 'Straight Talk Express' who does not pander to voters or change his positions with the political breeze. But the fine print of his record in the Senate indicates that he has been a lot less consistent on some of his signature issues than he has presented himself to be so far in his presidential campaign." On immigration, Bumiller wrote: Mr. McCain has also moved from his original position on immigration. In 2005, he joined forces with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, to co-sponsor an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws. Although the legislation included toughening border security, its center was a provision that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for many of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. Conservatives immediately branded the bill as amnesty and fired steadily at Mr. McCain. After seeing his campaign and his fund-raising efforts derail last summer -- which his advisers attributed in large part to his position on immigration -- Mr. McCain now says that he got the message from voters. These days he speaks almost exclusively about border security, although he does say that it is not possible to deport 12 million illegal immigrants and that he would never deport the mother of a soldier serving in Iraq. Additionally, in a June 20 Politico piece, journalist Gebe Martinez reported on McCain's reversal on immigration: McCain, the Arizona senator, dismayed Latinos last year when he stepped back from his immigration bill that would have tightened the borders and legalized undocumented immigrants. As boos and hisses from angry Republican conservatives grew louder at campaign events, he switched course and vowed to "first" secure the borders. Were his failed bill to come up again, he would not vote for it, he said. [...] Trying to regain Latino support, McCain has chastised Republicans who stoke the fires of the immigration at election time. And at a private meeting with Chicago-area Latinos last week, he promised to push for a comprehensive immigration bill. "It sounds like he's trying to have it both ways, and it's not convincing anyone," said Frank Sharry, who also was involved in immigration bill negotiations when he headed the National Immigration Forum. This is not the McCain Hispanics thought they knew. Even after the 2001 terrorist attacks placed an emphasis on national security, McCain's speeches to Latino audiences and on the Senate floor prioritized the compassionate side of the immigration argument. He understood that border security "first" means "deportation only" in the eyes of immigrant activists, and he championed a broader approach. As the Senate mulled immigration in 2006, McCain often stood in the Capitol's corridors, pounding his fist in the air, arguing that border enforcement would not work without simultaneously penalizing employers who hire workers illegally, creating a temporary worker program and finding a way to bring 12 million illegal immigrants "out of the shadows" of society. "It won't work! It won't work!" he protested of suggestions to do enforcement first. The stool cannot stand on one leg. As Media Matters noted, on the February 14 edition of Morning Joe, Todd asserted that McCain is a "moderate," even though McCain has reversed his position on immigration and other issues to align himself with the base of the Republican Party. From the September 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe: TODD: Rick, last night -- last night in Senator McCain's speech, I saw him use the word "Latina." He was talking about a Latina woman, trying to -- it was the first time all week that I had seen your party even remotely talk about the Hispanics or even reach out to the Hispanic vote. Are you worried the numbers are showing that Senator McCain is performing worse among Hispanics than President Bush? And maybe this is a party problem. DAVIS: Well, sure -- TODD: But how do you carry Colorado and New Mexico and Nevada with underperforming President Bush on Hispanics? DAVIS: Oh, look, we don't want to underperform anybody on Hispanics. John McCain is -- for his entire career -- TODD: Well, that's right. There's no question his record -- DAVIS: -- has gotten more Hispanic votes than any other candidate in the country. TODD: He's not getting votes that his record deserves. DAVIS: But look what we did. Look what we -- TODD: In this case -- DAVIS: -- did as a party. For the last two years, we've told Hispanic voters that we don't want immigration from the southern border, that we don't -- and, you know what? The message, you can't bifurcate it. It's not just legal immigration and illegal immigration. TODD: They're not hearing it, and that's been the problem. They're not hearing that. DAVIS: There's been a nativist discussion in this country that has hurt our party's ability to attract Hispanic voters. TODD: Anything to change it? DAVIS: The only one in our party who can do that and set it right is John McCain. TODD: Why didn't he talk about it more last night or through this convention? DAVIS: Well, look, I mean, we had some great people at the convention talking about it -- Tommy Espinoza, who is Jimmy McCain's godfather, someone who John McCain has done all kinds of good works with. You know, a former CEO of La Raza was a speaker at our convention. He's not what you call a rock-ribbed Republican. You look at our speakers at our convention and we had a lot of people who are not Republicans come and talk to our convention. And I think the message that our convention gave is the kind of message that the McCain administration is going to give, and that is party labels don't give you access. What you -- gives you access is whether you're going to put your country first, set aside your own partisan interests, and do good for the country. http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/rather-than-noting-immigration-reversal-todd-claimed-2008091658.htm 2008-09-05T22:11:34Z 2008-09-05T22:11:34Z Mediamatters.Org http://mediamatters.org/items/200809050015 Rather than noting immigration reversal, Todd claimed McCain "is not getting votes that his record deserves" from Hispanics {new window}   Mediamatters.Org - During an interview with McCain campaign manager Rick Davis on the September 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe in which Davis touted Sen.

]]> {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - AP's Fournier counts the "I's" in Clinton's speech, but her focus was often outward In an August 27 Associated Press "analysis," Ron Fournier asserted that Sen. Hillary Clinton's August 26 speech at the Democratic National Convention -- which he described as "laced 17 times by some variation of the pronoun 'I' " -- was part of the "bill" Sen. Barack Obama had to pay for Clinton's agreement to "end[] her historic bid for the presidency in a manner that, however messy, still left Obama in a stronger position than [Ted] Kennedy left Jimmy Carter in 1980, when the Massachusetts senator extracted platform concessions and shrank from the traditional unity show at the final gavel." Fournier gave no explanation for his apparent view that the number of times Clinton used the pronoun "I" in her speech was an indication of the "price" she exacted from Obama. And while Media Matters for America actually counted 21 instances in the speech in which Clinton used "some variation of the pronoun 'I,' " contrary to Fournier's suggestion, Clinton's focus in most of those instances was not on herself, but on Obama and the election. Specifically, in at least 13 of these instances, she was making one of three points: her support for Obama's election; the importance of the 2008 election; and who really matters in this election. In three instances, Clinton used the pronoun "I" to express support for Obama. For example, she said: "I'm here tonight as ... a proud supporter of Barack Obama" and "I cannot wait to watch Barack Obama sign into law a health care plan that covers every single American." Clinton also used the pronoun "I" to call attention to how important she believes this election is. For instance, she stated, "I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches, advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights here at home and around the world ... to see another Republican in the White House squander our promise of a country that really fulfills the hopes of our people." In eight instances, Clinton used the pronoun "I" to call attention to the people she believes really matter in this election. For example, she stated, "I will always remember the single mom who had adopted two kids with autism," and "I will always remember the young man in a Marine Corps T-shirt who waited months for medical care." The following are all the instances Media Matters identified in the speech in which Clinton used the pronoun "I": I ... I am so honored to be here tonight. You know, I'm -- I'm here tonight as a proud mother, as a proud Democrat ... as a proud senator from New York ... a proud American ... and a proud supporter of Barack Obama. [Support for Obama] I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches, advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights here at home and around the world ... to see another Republican in the White House squander our promise of a country that really fulfills the hopes of our people. [Importance of this election] Tonight, I ask you to remember what a presidential election is really about. [Importance of this election] I will always remember the single mom who had adopted two kids with autism. [Who really matters in this election] I will always remember the young man in a Marine Corps T-shirt who waited months for medical care. [Who really matters in this election] And I will always remember the young boy who told me his mom worked for the minimum wage, that her employer had cut her hours. [Who really matters in this election] I will always be grateful to everyone from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the territories ... who joined our campaign on behalf of all those people left out and left behind by the Bush administration. I ran for president to renew the promise of America, to rebuild the middle class and sustain the American dream, to provide opportunity to those who are willing to work hard for it and have that work rewarded, so they could save for college, a home, and retirement, afford gas and groceries, and have a little left over each month. Most of all, I ran to stand up for all those who have been invisible to their government for eight long years. Those are the reasons I ran for president, and those are the reasons I support Barack Obama for president. [Support for Obama] I want you -- I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me, or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? [Who really matters in this election] Democrats know how to do this As I recall, we did it before with President Clinton and the Democrats. And I cannot wait to watch Barack Obama sign into law a health care plan that covers every single American. [Support for Obama] And I know what that can mean for every man, woman, and child in America. [Who really matters in this election] I'm a United States senator because, in 1848, a group of courageous women, and a few brave men, gathered in Seneca Falls, New York, many traveling for days and nights ... to participate in the first convention on women's rights in our history. I have seen it. I have seen it in our teachers and our firefighters, our police officers, our nurses, our small-business owners, and our union workers. [Who really matters in this election] I've seen it in the men and women of our military. [Who really matters in this election] I want you to think about your children and grandchildren come Election Day. [Who really matters in this election] From Ron Fournier's August 27 AP article, "Analysis: A perfect night for Clinton, Obama?": Behind the scenes Tuesday, the Obama and Clinton camps struck a tentative deal that would allow some states to cast votes in a roll call before somebody -- possibly Clinton herself -- cuts short the tally and asks the convention to nominate Obama by unanimous consent. This was her price for ending her historic bid for the presidency in a manner that, however messy, still left Obama in a stronger position than Kennedy left Jimmy Carter in 1980, when the Massachusetts senator extracted platform concessions and shrank from the traditional unity show at the final gavel. But she did extract her price. The bill came due Tuesday. The crowd. The applause. The promise of a vote Wednesday, and a speech laced 17 times by some variation of the pronoun "I." "You never gave up," Clinton told her delegates, a phrase that so perfectly fits her. "You never gave up. And together we made history." http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/ap-s-fournier-counts-the-i-s-in-clinton-s-speech-but-20080841934.htm 2008-08-28T00:43:25Z 2008-08-28T00:43:25Z Mediamatters.Org http://mediamatters.org/items/200808270018 AP's Fournier counts the "I's" in Clinton's speech, but her focus was often outward {new window}   Mediamatters.Org - In an August 27 Associated Press "analysis," Ron Fournier asserted that Sen.
