Numerous media outlets uncritically reported the assertion by Sen. John McCain's campaign that Sen. Barack Obama “voted against funds for American troops in harm's way.” However, none of these outlets noted that McCain himself has voted against legislation to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor did they mention that Obama has voted in the past to provide funds for troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
