]]> {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Wash. Post repeats falsehood about why Casey was denied 1992 convention speaking slot

In an August 14 Washington Post article discussing scheduled speakers at the Democratic National Convention, staff writers Jonathan Weisman and Michael Shear asserted, "Also speaking that [Wednesday] night will be Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.), an antiabortion Democrat whose father was denied a speaking slot at Bill Clinton's nominating convention in 1992 because of his opposition to abortion," echoing a longtime, much-repeated falsehood that former Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey Sr. was denied a speaking role at the convention because he opposed abortion rights. In fact, as Media Matters for America has documented, others who opposed abortion rights were given speaking roles at the convention, so Casey's opposition to abortion rights alone could not have been the deciding factor in the Democratic National Committee's decision not to give him a speaking role. As Media Matters has noted, Michael Crowley of The New Republic reported in 1996: "According to those who actually doled out the 1992 convention speaking slots, Casey was denied a turn for one simple reason: his refusal to endorse the Clinton-Gore ticket." From the August 14 Washington Post article: Hillary Clinton will get a prime speaking slot Tuesday and is expected to speak of her historic bid to become the first female nominee of a major party, as well as the nation's economic challenges. She will share the stage with Warner, who is running for the Senate; Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer; and Sebelius, all of whom could be new faces for voters who last tuned in to Democratic politics in 2004. Warner is expected to stress how he won support in Republican regions of rural Virginia by listening to the needs and struggles of ordinary voters. Also speaking that night will be Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (Pa.), an antiabortion Democrat whose father was denied a speaking slot at Bill Clinton's nominating convention in 1992 because of his opposition to abortion. Casey, who backed Obama over Hillary Clinton in his state's hard-fought primary, is not expected to speak about abortion, but Democrats conceded that his name alone speaks to the issue. Wednesday's national security theme has stoked speculation that Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will be moving up to the prime-time spot to accept his party's vice presidential nomination. But Bayh also has a speaking spot that day.

]]> {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Wash. Post cropped Obama quote in purporting to contrast Obama's and McCain's identities as Americans

In an August 12 Washington Post article, reporter Alec MacGillis claimed that Sen. Barack Obama is the "embodiment of a new America" and that "Obama lacks a ready answer" to the question of where he is from, in contrast with Sen. John McCain, who, MacGillis wrote, "hails from an America that exalted service to country." In support of his claim of a contrast between the two candidates' identities as Americans, MacGillis falsely suggested that in a July 24 speech in Berlin, Obama referred to himself only as a "citizen of the world." In fact, in that speech, Obama referred to himself as "a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world," a self-description very similar to President Reagan's assertion in a 1982 speech before the United Nations General Assembly that "I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world." MacGillis also uncritically wrote that McCain "preaches a mantra of personal honor and of the nation over the individual -- 'Country First,' as his campaign slogan declares," ignoring reporting by the Post's own Howard Kurtz, who asserted that McCain's "Country First" slogan was being used to call Obama's patriotism into question and who pointed out falsehoods in McCain's ads attacking Obama. Writing about McCain's "Troop Funding" ad in a July 18 post on the Post's The Trail blog, Kurtz asserted: "The tagline -- 'country first' -- is a not-so-subtle attempt to suggest that the former Navy aviator, pictured against American flag images, is more patriotic than Obama, who did not serve in the military and spent part of his childhood in Indonesia." Further, the "Troop Funding" ad contains misleading claims about Obama's role in hearings on Afghanistan and Obama's votes on funding the troops. Additionally, in a subsequent ad titled simply "Troops," McCain repeated the misleading claims about Afghanistan hearings and troop funding and falsely suggested that Obama did not visit wounded troops during his recent trip abroad. From MacGillis' August 12 Washington Post article: McCain hails from an America that exalted service to country, and he is the scion of a military family who endured five years in enemy captivity and who preaches a mantra of personal honor and of the nation over the individual -- "Country First," as his campaign slogan declares. His wife is conspicuously reserved at his side; he does not communicate by e-mail and only recently learned to use the Internet; even his roguish sense of humor carries echoes of the more chauvinistic 1950s of his youth. Obama's embodiment of a newer America begins but hardly ends with the fact that he would be the first black president. In a country where people liked to know where you were from, Obama lacks a ready answer -- he is part Hawaii, part Kansas, part Chicago. In a recent speech in Berlin, he declared himself a "citizen of the world."

]]> {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Wash. Post ombudsman admonishes Milbank for using anonymous source, imputing meaning to secondhand quote

Responding to reader complaints about Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank's use in a July 30 column of an "anonymous secondhand quotation from Sen. Barack Obama" to characterize Obama as "presumptuous," Post ombudsman Deborah Howell chastised Milbank for citing the source anonymously and for imputing a particular interpretation to a quote he did not witness. Howell wrote in her August 10 column: "Anonymous quotes should be used sparingly; this one wasn't worth it. If you weren't there, be careful about judging the context." Further, Howell found that "[n]either [Post national political reporter Jonathan] Weisman nor Milbank called the source" to confirm their interpretation of the quote. In a July 31 online chat, Milbank addressed criticism of his July 30 column by referring to such criticism as "whining," and wrote: "House Democratic aides got up Thursday morning and decided that the quotes looked bad. While not challenging the quotations themselves, they said that the quotes were out of context. This is interesting, because our source -- who was among the people complaining about the quotes yesterday -- sent us the quotes in writing in an email Wednesday night. Evidently no recording was made, so we'll probably never know the exact wording." And in an August 7 online discussion, Milbank asserted: "My colleague Jonathan Weisman and I believe the quote was correct as written, and that this supposed 'context' is a recreation, after-the-fact, by Democratic aides who were worried about how the quote looked. Perhaps Obama didn't mean for it to come out that way, but there's every reason to believe it did." However, as Media Matters for America has noted, Weisman did not share Milbank's certainty about their initial interpretation of Obama's alleged quote. While Weisman wrote in a July 29 entry on the Post's political blog, The Trail, that Obama "was beginning to believe his own hype," he later updated it to report that "House leadership aides pushed back against interpretations of this comment as self-aggrandizing, saying that when the presumptive Democratic nominee said, 'I have become a symbol of the possibility of America,' he was actually trying to deflect attention from himself." In an August 8 online chat, Weisman called his own position "a little more squishy" than Milbank's flat assertion that the context provided the next day was "a recreation, after-the-fact." Weisman further wrote, "I can't say whether the first rendition was more accurate than the second. I can say those providing the second rendition had good reason to supply context that would nullify the first. I can also say I trust the suppliers of both renditions." From the August 10 Washington Post column "The Anger Over an Obama Quote": Readers and partisans -- about 160 -- said the quote was taken out of context or misinterpreted. Their anger was mainly focused on Milbank, who used the quote as part of a sharply written critique of Obama as his party's "presumptuous nominee." There was no tape and no transcript of Obama's talk, but the quote came from someone who told me that the quote didn't reflect arrogance. Here's where it gets tricky for me; I dislike most anonymous quotes, including this one. I figured out who the source probably was and confirmed my suspicion by talking with him, but no journalist should ever reveal another's source except in the gravest of circumstances. Neither Weisman nor Milbank called the source. Weisman considered the source more or less official and didn't use his name, even though the source didn't ask for anonymity in the e-mail. Weisman said he has "an understanding going back years that he is giving me privileged information from closed meetings; it is by definition on background. With someone you interact with constantly, there just aren't the formalities of sourcing on every conversation and e-mail." Milbank called the source "unimpeachable. When he gives you a quote you can take it to the bank. You don't need to go around verifying it with others." [...] Several lessons can be learned here. For reporters: Anonymous quotes should be used sparingly; this one wasn't worth it. If you weren't there, be careful about judging the context. Treat readers well; we need them.

And in an August 7 online discussion, Milbank asserted: "My colleague Jonathan Weisman and I believe the quote was correct as written, and that this supposed 'context' is a recreation, after-the-fact, by Democratic aides who were worried about how the quote looked. Perhaps Obama didn't mean for it to come out that way, but there's every reason to believe it did." However, as Media Matters for America has noted, Weisman did not share Milbank's certainty about their initial interpretation of Obama's alleged quote. While Weisman wrote in a July 29 entry on the Post's political blog, The Trail, that Obama "was beginning to believe his own hype," he later updated it to report that "House leadership aides pushed back against interpretations of this comment as self-aggrandizing, saying that when the presumptive Democratic nominee said, 'I have become a symbol of the possibility of America,' he was actually trying to deflect attention from himself." In an August 8 online chat, Weisman called his own position "a little more squishy" than Milbank's flat assertion that the context provided the next day was "a recreation, after-the-fact." Weisman further wrote, "I can't say whether the first rendition was more accurate than the second. I can say those providing the second rendition had good reason to supply context that would nullify the first. I can also say I trust the suppliers of both renditions." From the August 10 Washington Post column "The Anger Over an Obama Quote": Readers and partisans -- about 160 -- said the quote was taken out of context or misinterpreted. Their anger was mainly focused on Milbank, who used the quote as part of a sharply written critique of Obama as his party's "presumptuous nominee." There was no tape and no transcript of Obama's talk, but the quote came from someone who told me that the quote didn't reflect arrogance. Here's where it gets tricky for me; I dislike most anonymous quotes, including this one. I figured out who the source probably was and confirmed my suspicion by talking with him, but no journalist should ever reveal another's source except in the gravest of circumstances. Neither Weisman nor Milbank called the source. Weisman considered the source more or less official and didn't use his name, even though the source didn't ask for anonymity in the e-mail. Weisman said he has "an understanding going back years that he is giving me privileged information from closed meetings; it is by definition on background. With someone you interact with constantly, there just aren't the formalities of sourcing on every conversation and e-mail." Milbank called the source "unimpeachable. When he gives you a quote you can take it to the bank. You don't need to go around verifying it with others." [...] Several lessons can be learned here. For reporters: Anonymous quotes should be used sparingly; this one wasn't worth it. If you weren't there, be careful about judging the context. Treat readers well; we need them.

Media Matters - Wash. Post ombudsman admonishes Milbank for using anonymous source, imputing meaning to secondhand quote {...} Responding to reader complaints about The Washington Post 's Dana Milbank's use of an "anonymous secondhand quotation from Sen. Barack Obama," Post ombudsman Deborah Howell chastised Milbank for citing the source anonymously and for imputing a particular interpretation to a quote he did not witness. Howell found that "[n]either [Jonathan] Weisman nor Milbank called the source" to confirm their interpretation of the quote. {...}
