This is absolutely hacktackular. The BBC compiles a list of McCain and Obama "flip-flopping." In an apparent stab at "journalistic balance," they list five examples for each candidate. The problem? That in order to find five Obama flips, they had to just make things up. That's right. Go ahead and list Obama flip-flops that have never happened. That will be fair and balanced.

Check this out:

"Mr Obama himself has announced that he plans to visit Iraq, where he will make 'a thorough assessment' which could lead him to 'refine' his policy. Some critics have seized on this as an indication that Mr Obama is laying the groundwork for a change in position."

Wow. "Some critics" say there are indications that Obama might change positions in the future. As someone
who once saw a piece of burnt toast that looked a little bit like Elvis flip-flopping, I'm not sure I can trust this future Obama that a psychic saw in a vision one time.

And there's more, of course ..
