Hume's report citing LA Times article on Khalidi event omitted Times' report that Obama "called for finding common ground"

SUMMARY: Reading from a Los Angeles Times article, Fox News' Brit Hume stated regarding a 2003 going-away party for then-University of Chicago history professor Rashid Khalidi attended by Sen. Barack Obama: "A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Senator Barack Obama. Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife and conversations that had challenged his thinking." But Hume did not note that the Times article also reported that "Obama adopted a different tone in his comments and called for finding common ground."
