NY Times ignored McCain flip-flop on whether he believed Falwell was an "agent[] of intolerance"

SUMMARY: In an article about Sen. John McCain's outreach to "evangelicals and other Christian conservatives," The New York Times noted that "[i]n 2000, when he was running against Mr. Bush for the Republican nomination, Mr. McCain castigated Pat Robertson and the Rev. Jerry Falwell as 'agents of intolerance.' " But the Times did not point out that McCain subsequently said he no longer believed Falwell was an "agent[] of intolerance."
