Wash. Post uncritically reported McCain adviser's assertion that McCain "has been seen as standing up to his party and fighting on issues" including "immigration"

SUMMARY: A Washington Post article uncritically reported the claim by a senior adviser to Sen. John McCain that McCain "has been seen as standing up to his party and fighting on issues -- the war in Iraq and immigration -- that have damaged him politically." The Post did not report that McCain has reversed his position on immigration to more closely align himself with the Republican Party's base.
