This morning I heard John Scott of fox use the words
'islamic terrorists' while showing the footage of the rally going on in Moscow today. Was quite surprised to hear that! Not holding my breath that it will start being used more...
Mama
(FoxNews) Scott also called the school assault 'tragic' and 'tragedy'.
After the break, he called the killing of the children 'slaughter.'
[I figure his email box filled up in a hurry with corrections to his error, including my email pointing out the difference in meaning of 'tragedy' and 'atrocity'.]
Do we really care what words the inane press chooses to use?
We know the press is against conservatism, has hate for President Bush, promotes propaganda and will always find fault with any action taken by a Republican president.
How big a deal is a word - hostage-taker or terrorist?
We have no control over the words they use - so, we just find and develop the alternative sources of news - the internet, our email lists, talk radio, letters to the editors, etc.
