A leading media fact-checking organization rates Republicans as less trustworthy than Democrats, according to a new study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University. The study finds that PolitiFact.com has rated Republican claims as false three times as often as Democratic claims during President Obama’s second term. Republicans continue to get worse marks in recent weeks, despite controversies over Obama administration statements on Benghazi, the IRS and the AP.

In brief: From Wire Reports:
TOKYO – A U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter crashed off the southern Japan island of Okinawa early Tuesday after the aircraft developed problems in flight. The pilot ejected and was recovered safely.
The F-15, flying out of Kadena Air Base, went down in the Pacific about 70 miles east of Okinawa, the military said in a statement.
Lt. Col. David Honchul, the chief spokesman for the U.S. Forces, Japan, said the pilot was recovered safely after a search by U.S. and Japanese rescue crews. After he ejected from the plane, the pilot remained in contact with the rescuers.
The cause was under investigation. The pilot’s name has not been released.
Another arrested in soldier’s killing
LONDON – British police arrested a 10th suspect Monday in connection with the vicious street killing of a soldier in London, an apparent Islamic extremist attack that has horrified the country and heightened racial tensions.
The 50-year-old man was detained east of London on suspicion of conspiring to murder 25-year-old soldier Lee Rigby, Scotland Yard said. Police gave no further information about the suspect’s identity.
Rigby was run over by a vehicle and repeatedly attacked with meat cleavers Wednesday afternoon near his barracks in southeast London.
French soldier stabbed in throat
PARIS – A French soldier was stabbed in the throat in a busy commercial district outside Paris on Saturday, and the government said it was trying to determine if there were any links to the brutal killing of a British soldier by suspected Islamic extremists.
French President Francois Hollande said the identity of the attacker, who escaped, was unknown and cautioned against jumping to conclusions about the assault on the uniformed soldier in the La Defense shopping area. The life of the 23-year-old soldier was not in danger, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
British soldier Lee Rigby was viciously stabbed on a London street in a suspected terrorist attack that has raised fears of potential copycat strikes.
Nieto to form group to find the missing
MEXICO CITY – Responding to anguished families and mothers on a hunger strike, the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday created an investigative task force to search for thousands of missing Mexicans.
The new effort comes as officials attempt to whittle down a list of more than 26,000 people who were reported missing – many seized by drug traffickers or by state security forces – during the previous six-year government of President Felipe Calderon.
Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said last week he is confident that once the cases are better documented, the number of “disappeared” will be substantially fewer than the 26,121 currently listed.
He said many people listed as missing had in fact migrated to the United States or left home after family disputes.
Mali ready to elect a new president
BAMAKO, Mali – Mali’s government announced on Monday that much-anticipated presidential elections will be held July 28.
The ballot would be the first since a coup in March 2012 ousted Mali’s democratically elected president just months before he was due to step down at the end of his final term in office. The coup plunged the country into chaos, creating an opening which allowed extremist groups allied with al-Qaida to seize Mali’s northern half.
Escaped tiger killed woman, police say
LONDON – When zookeeper Sarah McClay was mauled to death by a Sumatran tiger at an animal park in England, its owner suggested she had violated safety procedures and entered the animal’s pen.
But police said that according to witnesses, the tiger escaped from its pen and attacked 24-year-old McClay on Friday as she was working in a staff area at South Lakes Wild Animal Park in northwestern England. She later died of her injuries at a hospital.
Hotel developer dies at age 94 in Missouri
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Prominent hotel developer and Missouri philanthropist John Q. Hammons has died. He was 94.
His company says Hammons passed away Sunday at the Springfield nursing home where he’d lived after stepping away from the company he led well into his 80s.
After his first business went bust in the 1940s, Hammons built subdivisions in southwest Missouri before purchasing 10 Holiday Inn franchises with a partner in 1958.
He went on to build 200 hotels nationwide, avoiding big cities in favor of college towns and state capitals.
Canadian drugmaker buys Bausch & Lomb
Canadian drugmaker Valeant Pharmaceuticals said Monday that it will pay $8.7 billion to buy Bausch & Lomb, one of the world’s best-known makers of contact lenses, in a massive expansion of Valeant’s smaller ophthalmology business.
Valeant said the cash deal will help it capitalize on increasing demand for contact lenses and other products because of aging populations, growing demand in emerging markets and increasing rates of diabetes. Complications of the complex blood sugar disorder can damage the eyes over time.
Investment firm Warburg Pincus, which leads an investment group that owns Bausch & Lomb, will receive $4.5 billion in cash. The remaining $4.2 billion will be used to repay Bausch & Lomb’s debt.
