CNN, NY Times quote McCain attacking Obama over vote ratings, but don't report that McCain missed too many votes to draw score

SUMMARY: CNN's Kiran Chetry aired and The New York Times quoted Sen. John McCain's statement that "[i]t's not an accident [Sen. Barack Obama] has, I think, according to the National Journal, the most liberal voting record in the United States Senate. I have one of the most conservative," but neither mentioned that the Journal's ratings did not include McCain because he "did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score."
