More False Information from Media Matters
Media Matters’ credibility with its facts continues to unravel.
In a May 18, 2006, post, Media Matters falsely claims that Sen. Hillary Clinton "attended several funerals and memorials" for the victims of 9-11 following the attacks.
In fact, Media Matters’ own information contradicts this!
A previous MMatters post, on February 14, 2005, addressed this issue and could only provide two instances of Sen. Clinton attending a memorial or funeral (one memorial; one funeral) shortly following September 11, 2001. (This would not include any "anniversary" or other memorial events that have happened months or years after 9-11.)
The bottom line: "Several funerals and memorials"? Not even close.
Another example of sloppy research at Media Matters.
(By the way, this same MMatters post has another bogus element. MMatters writes, "Media Matters for America presents numerous instances in which O’Reilly was indeed ‘a little unfair to Mrs. Clinton’." Well, as we show in this post, one of the instances contains flat-out false information. In addition, the "numerous instances" total three. That’s "numerous"? Well, I guess if you’re as desperate as Media Matters, any wording will do.)
