Well, no.
A name change is not the same as redefining something against objective reality.
If the government changes the name, then objectively that I the new name. This is not the same as redefining something as something it is not.
It's a naming dispute.

This is not redefining the thing by changing the name. That would be calling it something other than a gulf, which it is, and demanding that everyone accept that it is now a different geographical feature.
Analogy is wrong. It doesn't work.

You know it happens, but you still think to yourself, "am I exaggerating? Is it really that bad?"
Yes. Yes, journalism is that bad, and always has been.
> Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed.
> I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various βparty lines."
