Wash. Post repeated McCain criticism of Obama for energy bill vote without noting Obama's stated reasons for voting for bill
Summary: The Washington Post uncritically reported Sen. John McCain's comment that Sen. Barack Obama voted for an "energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies." However, the Post did not note that Obama has said he voted for the bill because it included extensive investments in renewable energy or that the bill actually resulted in a net tax increase for the oil and gas industry.
