SUMMARY: ABCNews.com falsely asserted that an Obama campaign ad questioning why Sen. John McCain is "trying to link [Sen.] Barack Obama to radical Bill Ayers" is "incorrect in insinuating that John McCain himself has brought up Ayers," adding, "[I]t is in fact McCain's campaign that has sought to use the Ayers association against Obama." In fact, McCain himself brought up Ayers unprompted during an April interview on ABC's This Week. Further, ABCNews.com gave no indication that McCain has repudiated or in any way distanced himself from his aides' comments linking Ayers to Obama.
