<p><b>Beck repeated misleading claim that "Pelosi didn't even meet with Petraeus" </b></p>

<p>On the April 25 <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200704260008&http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0704/25/gb.01.html">edition</a>
of his CNN Headline News program,
<a href="http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/glennbeck?src=item200704260008">Glenn Beck</a> asserted that House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "didn&#39;t even meet with" Gen. David Petraeus,
commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, during his April 25 visit to Capitol Hill. In
response, former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee (R), whom Beck was
interviewing, said that Pelosi is "too busy over there talking to the Syrians and wanting
to have her own personal State Department." Huckabee added: "So I
guess she was just too busy to go and meet with the very person that she has
been so willing to criticize in public." In fact, as <i>Media Matters for America</i> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200704250002?src=item200704260008">noted</a>, ABC News senior national correspondent
Jake Tapper reported in
an April 24 ABCNews.com <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200704260008&http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/print?id=3075560">article</a> that Pelosi would "not
attend" Petraeus&#39;
April 25 briefing for lawmakers, but noted
that a "Pelosi aide said the speaker on Tuesday requested a one-on-one
meeting with Petraeus but that could not be worked out," and that Pelosi
and Petraeus had instead
spoken on the phone for 30 minutes. </p>

<p>From the April 25 edition of CNN Headline News&#39; <i>Glenn Beck</i>: </p><blockquote>

<p>BECK: You know, Nancy Pelosi didn&#39;t
even meet with Petraeus today, it&#39;s my understanding. He came to Capitol Hill
to talk -- </p>

<p>

HUCKABEE: Oh, she&#39;s too busy over there talking to the
Syrians and wanting to have her own personal State Department. So I guess she
was just too busy to go and meet with the very person that she has been so
willing to criticize in public. It&#39;s
amazing to me. </p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
