CNN, as you may recall, also banned the use of the word "scandal" in connection with Clinton.

This is treason... CNN must lose its FCC license

This is a disgrace. I knew about Reuters already, and learned about CNN's position last night on Fox News.

Question to CNN: We have the identities and pictures of the people who commandeered the 4 jets. Since we'll never be able to try and convict them, will you forever refer to them as "alleged?"

Dateline Sept. 11, 2051, SONN (Satellites of Osama New Network): This is Christianne Ananpour III (sic) reporting. Today is the 50th anniversary of the day that changed the world forever, that day in 2001 four commercial jetliners crashed in a 90-minute time period in the northeastern section of what was then The United States of America. Two of them crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, although subsequent investigations by Interpol revealed that lit cigarettes were the more likely cause of the subsequent explosions. A third jet crashed into what was then called the Pentagon, killing 185 members of what was then the Satanist military establishment of the United States, when a tractor beam inside the building drew the jet into it. The fourth was inexplicably hijacked by white male cowboys, who, not knowing how to fly, crashed the plan into an abandoned strip mine in Pennsylvania. 7,000 people died in all of these incidents, most notably nineteen Middle Eastern men in their 20s and 30s who were on their way to a peace conference in Los Angeles."

"These incidents were the first in a long series of accidents and mishaps that occurred over a 10-year period that caused what was then the United States to turn itself in to the United Nations to ensure its security. Now back to Chelsea Clinton, Jr."

This is just more PC garabge. My dad always told me to call a spade a spade. That still holds true.

Drop the word handle and you about got it.

Alleged hijackers??! How can a plane allegedly be flown into a building? I do have a problem with some of the terms I hear used. The one which gets me the most is "suicide bomber." Isn't homicide bomber a more accurate term?

The toughest response on the use of the word came from Bill Wheatley, vice president of NBC News, who told the Journal: "A group of people commandeered airplanes and used them as guided missiles against thousands of people; if that doesn't fit the definition of terrorism, what does?" he asked. "We have no intention of changing." Couldn't have said it better myself - NBC is slightly redeeming itself with this position!

Ahhhhh those who's entire careers are based on Freedom of Speech ban's use of words and or expressions of Patriotism...........The only way I will ever watch, listen or refer to CNN or any of their ADVERTISERS is if they are the last thing on TV/Radio or press.

Ted Fondas Communist New's Nitwit's are a friggin joke.

And BTW this alledged show of trust by the cabinet members flying commercial AC this AM is also a joke. As you know EOD was/is/maybe part of these folks security details and if "You & I" had a "team" to clear and search and secure "our" flights then heck yes I'd feel safe flying ncommercial.

I guarentee you there is no less than 20 security folks with them on those flights.

That is one of the few things GW's team has done of late that is just a slap in the face of intelligent citizens.......uhmmmmmm I guess the trigger word is intelligent eh ?

I will not fly commercial or support that industry until the flight deck crew is allowed to carry sidearms......period

Stay Safe.

I keep asking the same question, "who the hell is so offended by the use of the term terrorist" - terrorists or some group of people who support the kind of insane action taken by these animals - are arabs offended - are middle easterners offended - are islamics offended - if the shoe fits wear it!

Just when you thought CNN might be recognizing reality and begin freeing itself from the debris of the Rick Kaplan-Clinton years, it comes up with this "there is no such thing as a proven terrorist" policy.

They remain irredeemable. Tell your cable company and every hotel you stay at that you want FOX News-Fair and Balanced.

Tell your cable company and every hotel you stay at that you want FOX News-Fair and Balanced.

If you have cable, you can have CNN and its sister stations listed as restricted channels and blocked.

The Left is rotting from the inside, right before our very eyes. Amazing to see but not unexpected.

Well, I guess the honeymoon is over and the PC rabble are back to business as usual. Maybe it's time to show America some of the pictures of the alleged body parts at the WTC.

[harpseal]

actually I believe the current PC line is "If we treat them nice they could not possibly want to harm us it must all be the fault of the big bad US." A spade is a spade.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

You're a hoot!! I like the tractor beam reference.

Soon nobody will be watching ABCNNBCBS! Everyone will turn to Fox. Time for another nuetral or conservative network to take away from the left wing sociolist press. There is room for another Fox to help reduce the other evil networks to no viewers at all. This will further reduce CNN and add to Fox viewers.
