North Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham

"I'm Mike Moss".

That's all I know about him. But Lindsey Graham is a senator from SOUTH Carolina. I only know of two stations that air his newscast, but there are surely many more. I wonder what it'll take to get him to make a correction.

I'll check in an hour from now when he has his next newscast.

Looks like he's a news reader on Westwood One's unbranded, generic newscasts that air on lesser stations around the country. I get the impression that the "journalists" they hire are chosen for their pipes rather than their knowledge of the news and the people who make it. I've heard similar Ted Baxter-ish moments from some of their other voices on the newscasts aired on WNTY and its translator W241CG here in Connecticut. Place names are regularly mangled.

An hour later he said "South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham", though it wasn't at the start of the newscast.

As long as it was caught I will just note that I came here to concur that Senator Graham is a Senator from South Carolina.

I didn't hear the latest newscast to know if they fixed this and with the air conditioning on I probably won't.

"I'm John Trout".

Toni Morrison has died at 88. In 1933 she was honored for her work.

Edit: I looked it up and she won a Nobel in 1993. I wonder if I heard it wrong? It sure sounded like 1933.

He said 1993.

He said 1993.

Were you listening when I heard it? Or later? With the air conditioning on I never heard anything more.
