Your reference to "Arabian Gulf" was wrong, offensive, politically motivated, untrue, unprecedented and unethical. Persian Gulf has been the official terminology for that geographic location for more than 2700 years. Your unconventional reporting and misrepresentation of facts undermines the notion of honest and unbiased journalism this program was founded on and is inconsistent with principles of democratic ideologies. CBS management should make a clear assessment of this disparaging misconduct and firmly craft a policy to convey aspiration to disseminate factual information and not engage in hyperbole and tabloid reporting based on vivid imaginations and incentivized wishful thinking. If not checked, the long term negative consequences will advance to partisan and biased reporting degrading the network to be in par with Fox.

Please take a short course in Geography. You should be able to find Geography 101 at your local junior college where they'll teach you that it is the "PERSIAN GULF". Just because the US government sells millions of dollars in arms to the Arab countries along the Persian Gulf, you shouldn't ignore historical facts.
