Tim Graham often confuses news reports with the opinion of the organization reporting them. He does so again in a Nov. 22 NewsBusters post in which he writes of a CBS News report about a school that was renamed for Barack Obama: “CBS News is starting the next wave of Obama intoxication. Rename your school for our Historic Leader.”
There is no evidence whatsoever in the report, attributed to CBS and the Associated Press — nor does Graham offer any other evidence — that CBS initiated the effort to rename the school, or anything else, after Obama, as Graham claims.
Graham’s sneering at this single renaming is particularly hypocritical given the right’s efforts to name as many public landmarks as possible after their own favorite Historic Leader, Ronald Reagan.
