Wash. Times quoted Indiana man saying Obama is “a Muslim” without noting the assertion is false

A Washington Times article uncritically quoted an Indiana man saying of Sen. Barack Obama, “I can't stand him. ... He's a Muslim. He's not even pro-American as far as I'm concerned.” By contrast, after quoting the same man in its own article, the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that “Obama has never been a Muslim, but bogus e-mails accuse him of being a Muslim who put his hand on a copy of the Quran to be sworn into the U.S. Senate and refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.”
