Oh for fuck sake!

CNN is fulminating over Obama not using the word "terror".

Really CNN? This is important? Really??

[shenmue]

1. You can bet Fox will do the same

Oh good grief.

2. I switched back o MSNBC

Got sick of them dissecting Obama's statement and wondering why 'terrorist attack' wasn't used.

[neverforget]

3. CNN has been dead to me for a longtime because of stupid comments

like that.

4. Lets see, the president is being responsible, the news media aren't. I'm shocked I tell you

Shocked to find to find that gambling is going on in Casablanca

8. He's a better journalist then they are ...

... and, for some reason, that bothers them.

5. Interesting. FB has pages pedalling Muslim Terror and others blaming "Western Imperialism" trying

to take our guns of course, so by implication "Obama did it".

My FB spam rate increased markedly containing at least one direct, but rather common threat, to shove gun control "Up our a**."

6. Don't you all wish someone would decide if PO is a Capitalist or a Communist? nt

7. Don't get Romney all excited now.

9. I am shocked, yet I'm not.

We really don't have all the facts.

It could be something done to cover another crime that was going down.

We do not know.

I am shocked, yet not, that some reports are jumping the gun.

10. I've already seen "thanks, Obama" in a news comment

With dozens of "likes".

[Cleita]

11. The best coverage has been from Al Jazeera, since they are

looking at it as outsiders, they seem to be giving the most unbiased reportage.

[Hekate]

12. Would CNN be happy if Obama grabbed a bullhorn and stood on some of the rubble?

And then told us to go shopping?

[Wednesdays]

15. Probably.

13. I am very glad he did not use the word 'terror'. We didn't hear CNN use it after the horrific attack

on Newton kindergarten students. I guess a white, upper middle class killer just doesn't make the terrorist grade for CNN.

Their bigotry is showing. I guess they are assuming it must have been one of those brown people, in which case it IS terror.

Brown ME = terrorist

White Upper MC American = misunderstood, mentally disturbed, aberration (despite the fact that so many mass murderers are White).

All of it is terror. The slaughter of an entire kindergarten class and their teachers IS 'terror'.

Another word appropriated for the purpose of war propaganda.

14. It's hell being the responsible one in the room.
