REPORT: TV Media Cited Disputed CBO ‘Report’ At Least 81 Times In Past Six Days
REPORT: TV Media Cited Disputed CBO ‘Report’ At Least 81 Times In Past Six Days
Last Tuesday, the AP reported on a leaked Congressional Budget Office (CBO) “analysis” that had concluded that “it will take years before an infrastructure spending program proposed” by President Barack Obama “will boost the economy.” Conservatives, such as House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), quickly pounced on the story, claiming the CBO had proved that “government spending isn’t going to get our economy back on track.”
After the AP first wrote up the “report,” the rest of the media piled on the story. In a new analysis, ThinkProgress has found that since the AP’s report last Tuesday, the CBO report has been cited at least 81 times on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, the Sunday shows and the network newscasts in order raise questions about Obama’s recovery plan. Here are a few examples:
– “There’s a Congressional Budget Office report out today that suggests that the $825 billion stimulus proposal from Democrats, which is supposed to be timely and temporary, actually offers most of its spending a couple years from now,” — Carl Cameron [Fox News, 1/20/09]
– “Even the Congressional Budget Office is very skeptical about the rapidity with which that stimulus, this set of proposals, can move through, and that it could be four years before we see the results,” — Andrea Mitchell [MSNBC, 1/21/09]
– “Well that was another question raised in this Congressional Budget Office study. It was suggesting that a lot of the spending proposals in the original plan would not really take effect for a couple of years, so it wouldn’t clearly help create jobs in the first two years of the president’s administration,” — Ed Henry [CNN, 1/23/09]
– “There was a report out earlier this week from [the] Congressional Budget Office pointing out that the appropriated funds, that portion of the stimulus package that, you know, less than half of that was really going to be spent even within the next two years,” — Karen Tumulty [CNN, 1/24/09]
As the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim and the American Prospect’s Tim Fernholz reported last Friday, the CBO report being touted by conservatives and the media isn’t an actual report. “We did not issue any report, any analysis or any study,” a CBO aide told the Huffington Post.
Instead, the CBO “ran a small portion of an earlier version of the stimulus plan through a computer program that uses a standard formula” to determine how quickly money will be spent. As Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Scott Lily notes, even that CBO analysis is based “almost entirely on a review of historical data on program performance,” which likely applies “less during an economic crisis like the one we currently face.” OMB Director Peter Orszag says that 75 percent of the stimulus plan “will be spent over the next year and a half.”
The CBO is working on a full analysis of the plan to be released shortly.

Why does the MSM hate their viewers?
January 26th, 2009 at 7:09 pmI see Glenn Beck’s fact checkers have now gone freelance.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:13 pmRe: Republicans.
Is it possible to be insane, stupid, ridiculous, idiotic, infantile, retarded and a compulsive liar at the same time? Republicans continue to prove, without a doubt, yes it is.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:15 pmA few weeks ago, the constant litany of nonsense spewing from the right pissed me off. Now, I can sit back and laugh at the fools. What a difference a week makes.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:16 pmThey don’t do news anymore, they do voodoo news, you know, roll the bones and then just make something up.
That is Sean’s favorite Beck face, all puckered up and ready to Blow.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:21 pmGoes to show you how reliable the media is to get accurate information. They’re essential raising doubts using an analysis (not even a report) based on a bill that no longer exists. I’m beginning to see more and more ever since the Blago scandal got started that its better to get your information from the internet. Since the media is so fascinated with this “report” lets see if they give the NEW report as much attention. That will really show you how reliable the media is.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:23 pmI guess they are still used to just parroting the bullshit from Bush. It will take a while but hopefully they will start on the road to recovery. Is there an Edward R Murrow 12 step program for these people to join?
January 26th, 2009 at 7:23 pmIs it so freakin difficult to simply research the facts, then speak about them? Why are facts so foreign to the right side? The media will be the death of this country. Instead of them helping to get the ‘facts’ out there, the MSM is complicit in helping the dimwits on the right who couldn’t spot a factual example if it hit them in the face.
If the MSM is having financial troubles now, just wait until the repubs ruin the economy even further. If I got no money to buy food, I certainly ain’t goin to buy a newspaper. Every sunrise the MSM makes itself less and less relevant. Poof!
January 26th, 2009 at 7:26 pmIs anybody on the teevee actually telling the truth about this?!? I get it with FAUX News, but I don’t understand how supposed MSM “journalists” are getting away with passing on a lie this frequently. You’d think somebody would have checked. In fact, I’m sure they have. Which means they chose to lie anyway.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:27 pmYou’re assuming they can count to 12. And you know what happens when you assume something. You make an ass out beck and hannity.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:27 pmWhen does it become apparent to anyone with a brain, do not listen to conservative “talking heads”, they only spew opiates to the “true believers”, rattle off the list: Billo the Clown, Ann Coulter, Lardbaugh, Hannity, Reagan, Cal Thomas, Novak, it is the same tired, hateful, fear-mongering, lying crap. Minnesota Senator Elect Al Franken has been exposing these jackels for years.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:31 pmOn his website, Boehner does say,
If you are a constituent of Mr. Boehner’s, you can e-mail him here:
http://www.johnboehner.house.gov/Contact/
If you are not one of his constiuents, you can stillwrite to him at his Republican Leader site: http://republicanleader.house.gov/Contact/
He really shouldn’t mislead people like that. It’s not very, um, er, oh, what’s that word that always hurts Republicans’ ears when it’s said out loud, oh, yea, HONEST!
January 26th, 2009 at 7:37 pmThe problem is the uncritical analysis of the media, especially the MSM. The same thing has happened with that stsory about the supposed 61 “terrorists” who supposedly have “returned to the battlefield.” This story has been cited a number of times as evidence that we should not close Gitmo, yet on closer analysis, the numbers are bogus rendering the premise of the story false.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:43 pmThe CBO is working on a full analysis of the plan to be released shortly.
That’s going to be fun when the CBO does release an analysis and it doesn’t at all say what these guys said the analysis said.

January 26th, 2009 at 8:24 pmAnother fly-by troll? Maybe the RNC is testing new applicants and has no screening process at all for intelligence.
January 26th, 2009 at 8:28 pmRepubs never care if facts are disputed. Their own lies — that’s what’s important to them. Lies = viewership. Facts = lower ratings. Therefore Repubs & lies will always be tightly united.
January 26th, 2009 at 8:35 pmOh– and Glenn Beck?? Pudgy, childish, whiney, lying, distorting, bigoted, hateful loser. With absolutely no intelligence nor knowledge of real facts. Does he even know what “research” means?? He’s a smirking, bullying creep.

January 26th, 2009 at 9:05 pmIt’s O/T, but I just came across this over at HuffPo:
Conyers Subpoenas Karl Rove: ‘Time To Talk’
On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) issued a subpoena to Karl Rove, requiring him to testify regarding his role in the Bush Administration’s politicization of the Department of Justice, including the US Attorney firings and the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. The subpoena calls for Rove to appear at deposition on Monday, February 2, 2009.

Well! this outght to be interesting. Will Rove blow this subpoena off too? And if he does, will Conyers have the stones to have KKKarl arrested and brought in?

January 26th, 2009 at 9:18 pmDumb Question: In normal times, people with lower incomes tend to spend a higher portion of their income than those in higher income brackets.
So which would be more readily spent and therefore have a higher immediate impact – $ 100 given to a person making minimum wage and barely getting by or $ 100 given to someone making in excess of $ 100,000?

It’s not like they couldn’t just go to the web site – what would it have taken, 10 to 15 minutes to verify that no report had been issued? No wonder more and more people are getting their info from the internet.

OK, there’s no point in coming into one post to complain about what news it isn’t. That’s just silly. Do you have an opinion on the fake CBO “analysis?” As I previously pointed out to someone before (Hippie_Crusher, I think) complaining about what the news post is not is like taking a whizz in your kitchen while whining that it’s not your bathroom.
We’re on top of the Blago situation. It’s hilarious and ridiculous, and I’m not sure whether to hope it goes banging on its merry way for the entertainment value or he gets kicked like yesterday.
As for “tax dollars for abortions,” that’s spun. We think of it as not restricting foreign aid for womens’ health by tying it up with a bunch of local social-conservative obsessions. That’s good for people who need medical help. That’s good.
Are you really going to stop denying global warming when and only when there is no longer such a thing as winter? It’ll be far, far too late by then.
“Bush Derangement Syndrome” = believing beyond all evidence to the contrary that Bush was a good President and/or is a good person.

haaa is that the coined term that you believe now. first it was global warming last year and now “climate chage.” Since its record snowfalls i guess global warming isnt such a cconvenient term anymore.
Well, I still call it global warming, as in the average temperature of the globe is getting warmer from year to year. Do you know what an “average” is? But another problem with that is increasing instability in weather patterns, which means increasing variation across that – you know what, never mind. It’s cold out, everything will be just fine.

January 26th, 2009 at 10:14 pmTypical troll. The best thing our government could do to fix the economy would be to subsidize solar cells on every roof and the two-way meters needed to utilize the energy produced. Such a program would create jobs, reduce our consumption of fossil fuels, improve the environment in many ways and reduce the amount we pay for electricity.
But then; one who doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather is, obviously, ignorant of science in general. A pity the troll is too stupid to cure its ignorance.

I think it’s a symptom of an extremely conservative mindset. As I read through their comments, I see them accusing us of doing what, from all appearances, they would do if they were in charge and wanted the program to fail. They constantly make the mistake of thinking that we think like they. And I don’t just mean the ideological differences, I mean the rationales they use to explain why they think we would do certain things. (I have rarely seen a troll get it right.)
Because they would find a malevolent way to sabotage a good government program that they didn’t like, they assume that we would use the same tactics. I thknk this is why their ideas make no sense to liberals. Because we don’t think like they do. They don’t understand that we prefer an “Everybody Wins” scenario to an “I Got Everything I Wanted And You Got Nothing That You Wanted” scenario. When the Republicans ran the govenment, they literally shut out Democrats from Conference Reports, and even stripped widely-supported parts that Democrats wrote, just because they could. So they assume that the Democrats will do the exact same thing. (Goodness knows they deserve it.) They simply do not know how to handle Obama’s offer to listen to what they say. They assume he has ulterior motives because they’ve never really argued in good faith. Few Republicans know how to do that.

January 27th, 2009 at 2:20 amI guess they are still used to just parroting the bullshit from Bush. It will take a while but hopefully they will start on the road to recovery. Is there an Edward R Murrow 12 step program for these people to join?

January 27th, 2009 at 8:32 amNew fact: The CBO wrote a report that says that 99% of the money will be spent on job creation within 30 days, and that more than 10 million jobs will be created. Why don’t Democrats lie more often? When a Republican (AP, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, WP, NYT) lies, is it not fair for Democrats to tell their own lies? David Gregory says that it is not the responsibility of reporters to present oposing evidence – it is to just report. Really, let’s give him something to report. When a Republican says that the DoD has reported that 61 persons released from Gitmo have returned to the battlefield, we should say that there is evidence that the DoD released known members of al Qaeda deliberately, and that it appears that there are al Qaeda sympathizers within the DoD.
