CNN's Foreman falsely suggested Rangel's attack on Obama over race issue "still being flung"

SUMMARY: In his report on a "cease-fire" between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton over the issue of Clinton's recent comments on civil rights, CNN's Tom Foreman falsely suggested that an attack on Obama by Rep. Charlie Rangel was "still being flung." But Foreman did not mention that Rangel, who asserted that the reason "race got into this thing [campaign] is because Obama said race," had earlier expressed "regret" for "essentially pouring gasoline on the fire" at a time when Clinton was "essentially declaring a cease-fire," as Norah O'Donnell put it.
