Even after Wash. Post "Fact Checker" called ad "dishonest" and "deceptive," paper uncritically quoted it

Barack Obama's " 'one accomplishment' on education has been to support 'comprehensive sex education' for kindergarteners," even after Michael Dobbs, the Post's own "Fact Checker," wrote that the McCain campaign's claim is "wrong," and that the ad is "dishonest" and "deceptive."
