Chicago Tribune repeated baseless suggestion that Obama attacked McCain's age, linked comment to 2000 smears of McCain
June 13, 2008 1:49 pm ET
SUMMARY: The Chicago Tribune juxtaposed smears on Sen. John McCain in 2000 with Sen. Barack Obama's May 8 comment that McCain was "losing his bearings" without noting the context of Obama's remarks that would have made clear that the Tribune was advancing a false comparison. Obama made the remark in response to an attack by McCain and was accusing McCain of violating his pledge to avoid negative campaigning.
