Media Matters, the website of choice for Fox News haters everywhere, attacked the cable news network on Monday for using the term “homosexual” in its programming — advancing the peculiar argument that the scientific term has a “pejorative connotation.”
The online “media watchdog” contends that calling gay people “homosexual” is “a practice that’s quickly falling out of favor with major news outlets due the term’s often pejorative connotation and frequent use by opponents of LGBT equality.” Fox News, they chide, “has yet to update its language when referring to gay and lesbian people.”
Buttressing their argument? A weekend piece in the Fashion and Style section of the New York Times entitled “The Decline and Fall of the ‘H’ Word.” In it, reporter Jeremy Peters likens the term to using “colored” to address black people and asserts that the word contains “the ring of disapproval and judgment.”
That was all Media Matters needed to pounce, accusing Fox News of not getting the memo clearly received by the New York Times and other “responsible” journalistic outlets. Specifically singled out were hosts Sarah Palin and Megyn Kelly, although the blog post provided no specific instances of when either of them used the term.
But Fox News anchor Shannon Bream — who Media Matters described as “a pro-discrimination champion” — was caught in the act of using the “H-word” as part of a tweet promoting on a news segment. That tweet, however, was over two years old.

This is a constant tactic of the left. When plain speaking tends to derogate their desires, they change the language to make it more palatable.
Hence we’ve returned to “progressive” as opposed to “liberal”. That’s why we have “undocumented immigrants” as opposed to illegal aliens.
It makes no difference if their preferred phraseology is dishonest or misleading. “Undocumented immigrant” is a moronic term. They’re not “immigrants”. They didn’t come here to become Americans. They came to steal from Americans. And the problem is not that they’re “undocumented” - they could indeed be well documented. The problem is that they’re ILLEGALLY present, and worse, knowingly committed that offense.
Let’s not let the libs define the argument. Homosexuals are homosexuals. Illegal aliens are illegal f’n aliens. Pro-choice is really pro-abortion.
Stop letting the left control the argument by bastardizing the language.
How much more do these immoral perverts want? It seems to never end.

It’s part of the Hitlery Clinton campaign for POTUS.
Thanks mandaladon.

I prefer deviant or sodomite.
Homosexuals are experts on how to keep their perversion in the news, thus, constantly throwing it in our faces, I’ll give ‘em that much.
It already is in the UK and the sodomite EU.
Oh my God the fun, the fun I could have with this — I am a Sailor at heart after all and the list of names that we have (had) in the Navy for “homosexuals” is long and distinguished, however, now after six years with the present_dent I suppose they just call them Sir or Ma’am - disgusting if you ask me.
“But I make fun of homosexuals because they are homosexual.” Eddie Murphy
Maybe “the gays” would prefer we all resorted to some of them...the gays have derogatory terms for us non-sodomites. Seems only fair.
Eddie Murphy: Hey faggot! Hey! Faggot-ass faggot!
We must all worship at the sodomite throne! We must all pay allegiance to the golden calf of liberalism!
Without the perfectly timed pause, this just doesn't have the same impact.
Old fashioned or not, it never hurts to stick with tradition :-)
What about "Heterosexual"? I'm not offended to be called a heterosexual, is that a bad word too?
But then again, I am not in a protected class, I cannot be offended.
Is there any word in pop cultural more dismissive than “gay”?
I think the word ought to be banned then. Future Michael Sams can come out as “sexually transoriented”.
Reinforcing the definition of ‘Libtard’.
Sodomite is what the Bible calls them—that’s good enough for me. But pervert is also a good description of them,as is degenerate and queer.
