Ignoring contrary evidence, NY Times, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette uncritically repeated McCain accusation that Obama is "delay[ing] the World Series"

SUMMARY: The New York Times and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette uncritically reported Sen. John McCain's suggestion that Sen. Barack Obama is "delay[ing] the World Series" with his purchase of 30 minutes of network airtime to be broadcast October 29. Neither article noted that, according to the Fox executive who reportedly negotiated the ad buy, Obama's purchase of the airtime would not delay the start of the game.
