ABC anchors asked Obama and McCain about Obama's alleged "shifting positions," but not McCain's

SUMMARY: On the July 9 edition of Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer introduced a question to Sen. Barack Obama about Iraq by stating, "[S]ome of your core supporters have been saying that they sense that you are shifting positions, and you've gotten quite a drubbing on a couple of fronts." However, Sawyer did not ask Obama about any of Sen. John McCain's "shifting positions." In an interview that aired later that day on World News, Charles Gibson asked McCain about McCain's criticism of Obama for what Gibson characterized as "changing position on a number of ... issues" and whether McCain is "ready, yet, to call him [Obama] a flip-flopper," but did not ask McCain about McCain's reversals.
