BECK IS A POOR HISTORIAN

I'm listening to his Saturday broadcast on KNST and he just claimed that the Tides Foundation was created in the 1980s. In fact, it was founded in 1976. He also claimed that the name refers to changing the tide in society at large. This is also false:

Why "Tides?"

The "Tides" name comes from a Bay Area independent bookstore that once served as a meeting place for readers, writers, and activists. While honoring the progressive community that founded the Tides family, the name also suggests the remarkable power derived from people and ideas coming together at the right time, in the right place.
