<p><b><a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/dailyemail/200706100004?src=other">Fox News' Kelly misquoted Edwards to suggest he cited Hilton affair in "two Americas" comments</a></b><br />
Discussing Paris Hilton's jail sentence, Greg Kelly stated:
"[A]ccording to John Edwards, this kind of drives home his point about
two Americas.
He said this on the campaign trail: 'I still believe,' he said,
'with regard to Paris Hilton, that we have two Americas.' " In fact, Edwards said:
"I still do believe, without regard to Paris Hilton, that we have two Americas."

On <em>Your World</em>,
Neil Cavuto falsely asserted that John Edwards had "used" Paris
Hilton "in part of his campaign comments, talking about the dichotomy
between the rich and the poor." In
fact, when asked at
a press conference to comment on Hilton, Edwards responded that he was "gonna stay out of
the Paris Hilton story."

<p><b><a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/dailyemail/200706100002?src=other">Fox News' Herridge misinformed on whether new method can supplant stem cell research</a></b><br />
On the June 7 edition of Fox News&#39; <i>Special Report</i>, Fox News homeland defense
correspondent Catherine Herridge reported that opponents of a <a href="http://mediamatters.org//rd?http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&amp;docid=f:h3eh.txt.pdf" title="blocked::http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&amp;docid=f:h3eh.txt.pdf">bill</a>
that would ease restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research
cited alternative methods, such as a new technique in the experimental
stage, in which scientists were able to use skin cells from mice to develop cells that
have regenerative properties similar to that of a mouse&#39;s embryonic stem
cell.

<p><b><a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/dailyemail/200706100003?src=other">On <em>Meet the Press</em>, Gerth and Van Natta cling to falsehood about Clinton's criticism of Bush on war</a></b><br />
On the June 10 broadcast of NBC&#39;s <i>Meet the Press</i>, Jeff Gerth, co-author of <i><a href="http://mediamatters.org//rd?http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/books/51/0316017426/index.html">Her
Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton</a></i>
(Little, Brown &amp; Co., June 2007), again claimed that prior to June 2006,
Clinton "didn&#39;t accuse" President Bush "of misusing the
authority" granted him by the 2002 <a href="http://mediamatters.org//rd?http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_cong_public_laws&amp;docid=f:publ243.107">Authorization For Use Of Military

in an interview more than two years before.
