Chicago Sun-Times uncritically reported McCain attack on Obama over liberal rating, but not McCain's non-rating because of missed votes

SUMMARY: The Chicago Sun-Times uncritically reported Sen. John McCain's assertion that Sen. Barack Obama is "the most liberal Democrat in the United States Senate." However, the Sun-Times made no mention of the fact that the National Journal, which ranked Obama "the most liberal senator in 2007," said that McCain "did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score."
