Media Not Just Neutral Between Good and Evil, But Actively Pro-Terrorist

"Reuters has gone so far as to all but ban the use of "terrorist," which is considered too judgmental.  An unwillingness to play favorites makes sense when reporting on most topics. Mainstream reporters shouldn't choose between Republicans and Democrats or Microsoft and its critics (though in practice they usually do). But is studied neutrality really the right posture when covering a battle against monsters who fly hijacked aircraft into office buildings?"  (Max Boot in "Loose Lips Win Pulitzers" at the Los Angeles Times)

It's even worse than that.  Some in the mainstream media are not just neutral between good and evil.  They have become actively pro-terrorist.  Here's just the latest example:  Referring to Osama Bin Laden not as a "terrorist" but as a "dissident."

Right.  A dissident.  A "dissident" . . . who deliberately engineered the deaths of almost 3,000 innocent men, women and children on September 11, 2001.  A "dissident" who fully intends to take many more innocent lives in the future given half a chance. 

In their anti-Bush rage, the leftists in mainstream media have made the enemy of their "enemy" their friend.  They don't care that the enemy of their "enemy" is deeply evil and dangerous to all decent, civilized people.

They've lost their minds as well as their moral compass.

"They've lost their minds as well as their moral compass."

That's been obvious for awhile now.

and when I start wondering how much worse it can get, it get's worse!

Well said.

I am totally speechless, when was he upgraded from an "insurgent" to "dissident"?

A naive person once told me: 'it's just a "terminology" and wording'.

For heaven's sake - Language aka definition aka clarity means everything!

If evil is normal, we have absolutely nothing!!!

It just occured to me I read ysterday about a "diccident" that murdered a few people, though not (as bad as) a 'Jihadi' one, just a 'robbery' one.
