SUMMARY: During a report on Sen. John McCain's criticism of Sen. Barack Obama for allegedly "reneging on a pledge" to accept public financing that would limit his campaign spending in the 2008 general election, CNN's Dana Bash falsely claimed that McCain filled out a "survey from a watchdog group" and that he and Obama "both said yes, they'd accept public financing." But according to the Midwest Democracy Network, McCain has "yet to answer a single question from the questionnaire."
