CBS News can often be described as a megaphone for the Left. But some times, it gets incredibly lazy. On Thursday afternoon, CBSNews.com published an article that can only be described as a press release for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim lobbying group that’s been attached to Hamas. The headline was:

“Unprecedented surge” in anti-Arab, anti-Muslim bias incidents reported in U.S. since Israel-Hamas war, advocacy group says

They’re just an “advocacy group,” no ideological or geopolitical explanations are necessary. It was at a CAIR fundraiser where Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said “some people did something” on 9/11:

“CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

CAIR was founded in 1994.
