Foxnews anchor (not Gibson, Hume or any of the other majors) whose name I can't find was set straight yesterday while interviewing the spokesman for Chalabi. The anchor said:

"Don't you think ....... the resistance will ....... the resistance."

The Iraqi began his comments by point out to the clueless FOXNEWS ANCHOR that it isn't a resistance. It is Terrorism. Good gosh even the Fox people aid and abet with their stupid choice of words. It's ingrained in the mindset of a journalism major. Either that or it was a deliberate setup.

I like to think that it was intentional, to get the person being interviewed to say that it is terrorism, and not resistance.

At least, I hope it was intentional.

Given that the interview was w/ a spokesman for Chalabi, I think that the interviewer's use of "resistance" was intentional & used to elicit the response he got (& wanted to get.) Watch & see if the same interviewer uses that same term in a report (as opposed to an interview where someone can rebut.) Terminology used in reports is much more revealing.
