Canada's government run news organization, CBC news, had a story this morning about a fight between Reuters and the National Post, one of Canada's largest newspapers. The National Post has been changing some of the wording in stories coming from Reuters to reflect what they think is closer to the truth. The samples cited on CBC was refering to fighters in Falujah. Reuters calls them "insurgents", but the National Post changed it to "terrorists".

The CBC should dump Reuters and switch to Fox News.

LMAOROTF Are you kidding? The CBC makes Dan Rather look like a raving rabid right-wing fanatic. CBS is wholly objective in comparison.

Switch to FOX? Good grief, they don't even allow FOX into the country, let alone would use that net as a source!

Congratulations to the National Post for finally waking up to the fact that nearly all terrorists are Muslims.
Attempts by left-leaning organizations including Reuters to misrepresent the proper nature of the violence they wreak on free society must stop.
The Post's refusal to continue use of sugar-coated terms of endearment such as 'insurgents' and 'militants' to describe the baby-killing murderous animals that have unleashed havoc on our world goes a long way to reminding us who the true enemy is, and thus, how to find resolution.
When you get to the point where words have no meaning, you are probably talking to a Socialist.

Since the 'terrorist' directive, I've always described Reuters as a 'news' organization.

They don't like the term "terrorists"? Hmmmm. How about "murderers" or "killers"? Would that work?

You know, I prefer the use of 'murderers' and 'killers'.
It has a certain 'W' ring to it.
