O'Reilly guest host's comment on Chinese Olympic team: "I thought 'baby fat' was one of the Chinese volleyball players"
On the August 22 broadcast of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, in reference to allegations that the female gymnasts on the Chinese team did not meet Olympic age requirements, guest host Doug McIntyre aired a song that he said was "courtesy of WBAP, news talk out of Texas, a tribute -- a musical tribute to the Chinese Olympic team." The portion of the song aired by McIntyre includes the lyrics "[t]hey said that you were too young, I thought that was your name." Seconds later, the song asked: "How do you hide your baby fat? You can fake a passport, or do the twist, but you don't seem to know how to drive." McIntyre commented, "I thought 'baby fat' was one of the Chinese volleyball players." Read More
NY Times again repeated falsehood that Casey was denied speaking slot at '92 Dem convention "because of his anti-abortion views"
The New York Times asserted that Robert P. Casey Sr., "then Pennsylvania's governor, was blocked from speaking at the 1992 convention because of his anti-abortion views." But other Democrats who opposed abortion rights spoke at the 1992 convention and at every convention since then, so Casey's opposition to abortion rights could not have been the sole reason he was not given a speaking role.

IBD reported that "[a]mid" acts of violence, Obama "phone[d] Odinga to voice his support" -- but not that he said he urged negotiation
Summary: In an editorial, Investor's Business Daily wrote that after Kenyan politician Raila Odinga lost his country's presidential election in late 2007, "angry Odinga supporters crying fraud sparked riots that resulted in some 1,500 deaths. Amid his ancestral country's civil unrest, [Sen. Barack] Obama took time out from the campaign trail to phone Odinga to voice his support." However, while IBD claimed that Obama phoned Odinga to "voice his support," Obama and his campaign have reportedly said that he pressed Odinga to conduct unconditional negotiations to end the violence during the phone conversation, which was reportedly approved by the State Department.

Doocy father and son both ignore son's report about some young voters' knowledge of Obama
On the August 25 edition of Fox & Friends, Peter Doocy, son of co-host Steve Doocy, purported to report on what young voters know about Sen. Barack Obama. But despite acknowledging that he spoke "to some people who knew some things about his résumé," Peter Doocy aired only clips of people who did not demonstrate substantive knowledge of Obama. Peter Doocy then announced that when asked what they like about Obama, the "average 18-year-old" says "he's young, he speaks well, and he's a great performer" and said: "Could this be the first American Idol president?" Also ignoring his son's report of having talked "to some people who knew some things about his résumé," Steve Doocy said: "[Y]ou've told me that a lot of the kids your age love Barack Obama. They just don't know anything about Barack Obama." Read More

On Fox News' America's Election HQ, David Freddoso claimed: "Senator [Barack] Obama says that he is a reformer, an agent of positive change.

However, in Freddoso's recently released book, he specifically credited Obama with two "real accomplishment[s] ... in the name of reform" -- the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, and a 1998 Illinois ethics bill.
