CNN's Situation Room ignored McCain's missed votes in back-to-back segments

SUMMARY: Repeating an earlier report on Senate votes missed by Sen. Barack Obama, CNN's Jessica Yellin again failed to note that Republican Sen. John McCain has missed more votes than Obama -- as well as any other senator who is running for president and all but one currently serving senator -- since Congress convened in January. Yellin's report was followed by another by correspondent Susan Candiotti that referenced McCain's ridiculing of an earmark for a museum at the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival; Candiotti did not note that McCain missed the vote on the earmark he criticized.
