CNN's Foreman touted McCain's "straight talk" in 2000, despite admission of dishonesty on Confederate flag

SUMMARY: On The Situation Room, correspondent Tom Foreman reported that Sen. John McCain "became famous for his straight talk during his first run for the White House." However, Foreman did not report information that undermines the "straight talk" label, including McCain's admission that he "broke [his] promise to always tell the truth" when, in 2000, he declined to call for the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse.
