CNN report on "rumors" about Obama's patriotism did not mention efforts by Republicans to advance them

SUMMARY: CNN's Josh Levs reported on "rumors" about Sen. Barack Obama's "patriotism" that the Obama campaign "say[s] are lies," adding, "[T]hey're not sure where these rumors come from." Levs did not note that Republicans have begun using patriotism as an issue with which to attack Obama, even though a CNN.com article that same day reported that Obama "defended himself and his wife" when asked to respond to what was described as "an attempt by conservatives and Republicans to paint you as unpatriotic."
