Fox News provided platform for Matalin, Boehner to claim Americans don't support Iraq withdrawal...
'Summary: On Fox News, Republican strategist Mary Matalin asserted that "the message of election ... wasn't to withdraw" from Iraq, and Rep. John Boehner claimed that "bring the troops home" is not "what the American people want." In fact, the national exit poll conducted for the leading news organizations in 2006 found that a majority of "the American public" was in favor of withdrawing troops from Iraq, and recent polls demonstrate that most Americans favor some type of troop withdrawal from Iraq -- facts that Fox News hosts failed to mention in their discussions with Matalin and Boehner.'
