I just heard Jim Stewart refer to the bomb plotters as "martyrs". This was on the 5:30 PM (CDT) broadcast of the CBS Evening News. I Tivo'd the broadcast and used closed captioning to pull this quote. I can think of lots of words to describe the scum who tried this, but "martyr" wouldn't be one of them.

OOOPs, the editor forgot to change the wording on those FAX'd talking points he got from al Qaeda via al Jazeera.

Put his ass on a plane with his martyrs and let them fly off into the sunset. What a POS.

If he had even said "would be martyrs" that would be different... sounds like he forgot to cover his bias.

Does this program have advertising sponsors?
Do they adhere to this kind of nonsense?

I heard that they found some of those "martyr" tapes that suicide bombers make before thier missions in the homes of one of those houses in England.

I would have chosen a different word, but it does not necessarily imply bias.

Well, he did at least leave off the "Glorious" preceeding the 'martyrs' as the teleprompter probably had entered on it.
To: hanamizu
1mar·tyr
Pronunciation: 'mär-t&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English, from Late Latin, from Greek martyr-, martys witness
1 : a person who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty of witnessing to and refusing to renounce a religion
2 : a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle
3 : VICTIM; especially : a great or constant sufferer
Talk about pejorative "reporting" ... and let us not forget, in America, even the accused are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty. The reporter branded them guilty, forgot to use the word "alleged" preceding "martyrs", etc., a privilege even people caught on tape committing crimes are still granted by the ancient media, for the most part.
