Following other media outlets, NBC, CBS both uncritically air McCain's false, misleading attacks on Obama

Following other media outlets that have uncritically reported Sen. John McCain's recent false and misleading attacks on Sen. Barack Obama, on February 20, both NBC's and CBS' evening news broadcasts aired reports in which the reporter simply introduced McCain's attack; aired a clip of McCain making the attack; then characterized that attack or previewed the next attack for the viewers, without offering a response from Obama or assessing the accuracy of McCain's allegations.
