Front-page NY Times article misled on Obama and McCain campaigns' dependence on contributions of $1,000 or more

SUMMARY: The New York Times reported that a third of the $340 million Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has raised "has come from donations of $1,000 or more: a total of $112 million, more than Senator John McCain ... raised in contributions of that size." But the Times did not note that a significantly higher percentage -- nearly three-fourths -- of McCain's campaign contributions have exceeded $1,000.
