Sheesh..........

[a fool in paradise]

Now to be referred to as the Cordoba WTC Victory Mosque, established in New Mecca, USA.

[Spok]

Self censorship to protect the ‘bammer. Don’t these people ever look in the mirror?

Let’s call it what it REALLY is: The Victory Mosque

[AngelesCrestHighway]

It’s too late the damage is done. The SS Obozo has taken another torpedo hit which has ripped open the waterline. She is down by the head by 10 degrees and foundering fast.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

They should call it the Man Made Disaster Memorial and Muslim Victory Center.

[i_dont_chat]

I sent my email to the jerk, Thomas Kent.

[RedMDer]

I guess ‘Ground zero mosque’ is too divisive and that we should be more civil. Barf.

[Personal Responsibility]

“Calling it the Ground Zero Mosque is hurting democrats! Quick, quick, find something else to call it!”

[Chickensoup]

That means that the left is again defining the discourse. So you use the terms that you want and that are effective.

[NEPAConservative]

Repackage and resell, it’s the progressive way!

[Huskrrrr]

The Al Associated Press.

[Osage Orange]

Jerkmeat...

Get it right!

[pennboricua]

It is just to bad that there are alternate means of distributing information, nowadays.

[SlowBoat407]

As a former editor there, I’d say that’s a reasonable requirement. It should be called “Cordoba House”, with a full history of the name as the capital of the region of Spain conquered by Muslims and held from 711 until 1492.

Okay. Done. Problem solved, right?

Does anyone other than a VERY casual reader expect anything else out of the AP? These b@stards don’t even make any pretense about story manipulation and outright lying regarding stories they cover.
